Honestly people have forgotten how secretive eq was and because of that it was a very have, have not game. Lack of any idea about classes outside your own let alone people being terrible at their own class made it hard to find a baseline for anything. I was a well known group maker in kunark in sebilis especially because my groups ran so well. I was one of very few people who was running an open group (non-guildies) on my server doing camps like combined d1-d2 in seb. I remember people constantly telling me “that’s not possible” or suggesting the group wasn’t good enough to do one of the higher level camps but I was in a high end guild and had class knowledge. Things that are fundamental to modern mmo’s were barely things we understood. It also doesn’t help that the game and skill level made things horribly imbalanced. A good rogue was worth some entire groups dps easy depending on skill level or just classes.
