It's like playing the StarCraft campaign with cheat codes and then patting yourself on the back for winning.

From what I saw, nothing in the game, outside of the graphics and lore, resembled EQ in the slightest. Anybody who claims otherwise is being extremely disingenuous. The "EQ for people who have time constraints" line is a real thorn in my side. It is not EQ at all. It is a new game, built on EQ artwork and lore.
A large part of me dislikes how the THJ devs operated here. They clearly created a system where people felt obliged to spend tons of money in order to fast-track themselves (in a game that's already on fast-track).
The devs claimed they were doing it out of the spirit of EQ - while stripping away the ONE thing that classic EQ was leaps and bounds above all other MMO competitors - the REQUIREMENT TO TEAM UP TO GET ANYTHING DONE.
Seriously, these jokers made bank running a pay-to-win easy-mode EQ-in-name-only server - and claimed to be "just fans" .
To all those who spent all that money on the special tokens or whatever: Microtransactions are bad, mmmkay?
