Well this is what makes green sound so good. I wouldn't be playing Everquest if I wanted a server where everything was dirt cheap and made the game easier. Maybe I am a masochist but I usually mod games to make them harder so it will be great to play an mmo where other players have to suffer too. I'd make an Iksar SK on day one if I could just because it takes 2x as long to level and that's 2x as long I get to enjoy the journey.

To be clear, I'm
not saying the fresh economy (or even the lack of pet windows, custom UI, or other "objectively good" things) make Green worse than Blue.
Many people will enjoy Green precisely for those things.
What I'm saying is, there's a venn diagram. There's a circle of people who think they'll like Green, and a circle who actually will. The two circles don't overlap fully: there's a decent chunk of the "think they'll like Green" group who won't actually like it.
One reason some won't like it because the game really is harder with a fresh economy: mobs will take longer to kill, groups will wipe more often, etc. Everyone
talking in the forum can say how great all that is. but it's a whole other thing to actually play and sit through longer fights, go through more CRs, sit their for hours unable to get ports, etc. and
still say "I <3 Green".
Again, some people absolutely will ... I just think a fair number of the "Green > Blue" crowd
in the forum is going to change their mind when they get
in the game.
