Well, that's exactly my point. At some moment a bunch of suits walked into the room and said "we need more subscribers, your game is too hard, change it - make it more like wow or you're fired".

I typed a long post and blew it away with a mis-stroke at the kb. What follows will have to suffice, I am supposed to be working. Smed was the initial suit in the life of the game and still is. He never contributed to the creation directly and in the beginning that was all Brad and his team. After they left, Smed by default inherited the ability to control direction because he could pick and choose who got to drive.
He did chase WoW dollars, but not in a way that leveraged the strengths of his own game while doing away with some of the barriors to play that WoW succeeded in bringing down. He threw the baby out with the bath water. Why? Because he didn't and still DOESN'T understand what he had. EQ Next will be utter crap.
