Anyone can have the item on a long enough timeline, but the most hardcore will get it done faster/more efficiently. And that's simply not Everquest-y to many of us.

There are a ton of unfair things about EQ in the past and the present. There are myriad unhealthy behaviors associated with this game's timesinks. That's very classic and very EQ to me.
Fan I really feel like you're trying harder than anyone here to actually read what I write and respond to that, and I appreciate it.

Also I'm very open to the idea that making non-EQ changes to try and fix EQ can make it worse ... in fact that's kind of a key part my central thesis [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

(Although again, /list 1.0 is MUCH, MUCH better than /list 0.0: P99 is absolutely getting better over time!)

But I honestly don't get your argument. You truly feel clicking boxes all day and not sleeping for a week, or trading accounts to do so, is MORE like classic EQ than a random chance (where the people with more time get more chances)?
