I agree to the extent. The problem is that this isn't 1999 and this isn't classic. In 1999 we used dial-up, had no wiki, and were basically clueless about mechanics for a while. There were many casual players back then. There was not a heavy focus on "phat lewt" and "being uber". EQ didn't attract those sort of players in the beginning because the game wasn't about that....it was about exploring, adventure, and rping.
The players turned it into "omg max level phat lewt i'm the koolest mofo on the block" mentality. That's already starting to happen here as well. Soon we'll be begging for more and more raid content.
Camps created drama back in classic....but I think it's moreso here because we're more educated about who can solo them, how to hold them, and the rewards of camping them.
