A lot of people need to make peace with the fact that the reason classic EQ was so rewarding was because it was so unforgiving. The pleasure and pain are intertwined. Just roll with it.

Well said.
I want to add that modern games are more quick to reward players. Classic Everquest you have to work for what you have. There is so paying with a credit card to get a boost or quick quest that will grant you an entire level with BiS gear.

I think today's people have a shorter attention span than people of yester-year. Cell phones make communication instant. The Internet allows information to be passed at the click of a button. Food is prepackaged in a box. Homes are built for us. Our safety is placed in the hands of people we don't know.
When we presume things will be provided for us is when we forget how to provide those things.
People have forgotten how to work hard and how hard, work can be.
The reward for hard work is so much sweeter. It gives us self worth, we accomplished something.
