Anyway, AAs ruined it for me eventually.

You wouldn't believe how much of a grind AAs are now. Before, AAs were an extra, now you need lots of AAs to simply be able to function at your level.
Some classes have 8000+ AAs.
I tried PLing chars in Live. It took about three times longer (or more) to get 750AAs than to get my SK to level 73. As a tank you NEED the AAs to be able to last more than 1 hit.
Itemisation also went completely wrong. All items now give more or less the same +stats per tier. There no longer is a need of choosing between different items depending on the main stat, just get a higher tier and everything will be better. Don't even bother looking for armor from a previous expansion, it will be rubbish.
For me, another annoyance are augments. You can barely function without having an augment on each slot, which means adding 20 more items . Of course, there are melee augments and caster augments... and that's it. Everybody looks for the same things.
Finally, level limited spells such as charm and mezz are horrible unless you keep up to date. Back when there were 50 levels, you would get a spell that lasted for 10, 15 or even 20 levels. Now, unless you have the first spell from the new expansion, you can't even function in the lowest tier because everything is higher level, which prevents you from grouping unless you have friends to take you along.
