Personally, I think PoP and its 2 auxiliary expacs LoY/LDoN were the golden age. Raiding was was entrenched in the already established lore. There are a few downsides including armor dyes and pok books being instant. I think people would have complained less if there was only a few spots that ported to PoK and they left on timers like the port up to the nexus.
The bazaar was better for the economy in the end because after 4 expansions worth of stuff you didn't want be endlessly searching for obscure items.
What I miss the most is Right clicking spell gems to learn spells. Also the PoTime music.
