Actually I think the holy trinity was the best thing EQ ever had going for it. When they broke that (yes I know most hated the HT), it broke the game and everyone left. I mean fine, lots of ideas for classes, but to keep EQ working they would basically need to be just more variations of DPS like every other class, it doesn't matter in what flavor. Of course once they start to solo too well, it starts to unhinge things. And once you start doing the jobs of the HT too well, even with vials of crack, they pull the plug and shut off the lights at the datacenter. But yeah, it was a major complaint, people didn't like the HT, and people don't like to eat their vegetables either which is why you get dead morbidly obese people..
Otherwise, you just get every class doing the same thing, making it anti-social, solo RPG'ish, or choosing based on favoritism or the sound of a characters name, twinkage or OOC trolling abilities. But need a Cleric??? You will settle for almost anyone. Need an enc? their on the way. Need a warrior? break out the smithing hammer! Balance to the force.
