You have stated your arguments repeatedly, but the vast majority of the fellow EQ veterans who comprise this forum have not found them compelling. If this were a trial, you would lose, and a jury of your peers would find you guilty of Shaman fanboyism to a unhealthy degree. The punishment is having your character permanently exiled to Oggok, where you will live out the rest of your days buffing the Bouncers and killing the wandering level 2 Armadillo. Eventually, you will run out of banked plat and no longer be able to afford food and water, at which point you will be forced to beg from the players who come in to farm the guards.
"Please, sir, can you spare a plat for a starving Ogre, I am hungry," you will say. The player, probably some upstart level 40 Mage or Necro, will stare at you curiously, before finally saying. "Aren't you that DSM fella? The guy who got exiled here for Shaman fanboyism?" at which you will be forced to nod meekly. They will laugh and drop transfer you a fine steel short sword (refusing to even sully themselves by opening a trade window with such an infamous character as yourself), which you will delightedly run off and vendor for a few plat, relieved to be able to afford the loaves of bread and bottles milk that sustain you in your exile.
This is the fate you chose. It didn't have to be this way, DSM. But you just couldn't help yourself.
