You're looking at it the wrong way.
You wouldn't call the NBA the "Freakishly Tall and Coordinated People Who Have 20/10 Vision Basketball Association" and write a letter to the heads of the NBA requesting that they make larger and lower hoops to somehow incorporate into games so that short, clumsy, blind people can compete with NBA stars. So why are you stuck on the fact that, big surprise, the classes who are best at soloing are most capable of killing things solo? Basketball was designed to be fun and challenging, and it just so happened that certain people tended to be better at the game as designed than others. So too the Solo Artist Challenge was designed to be fun and challenging, and it just so happened that certain classes tended to be better at it than others.
Warriors and bards and rogues have their own challenges anyways. They're called raids. They get to shine when charmers aren't allowed to charm pets for the liability and stuff hits too hard for a shaman to tank it and stuff is immune to stuns so you can't avoid getting nuked. Meanwhile the enchanters and shamans and necros are buffing and patch healing and getting death touched and twitching. Wooo.

Its totally my fault as I misunderstood what this thread and the title "Solo Artist Challenge" represented. I was under the impression that the people who participated in this were looking for some of the best solo challenges Everquest could offer regardless if it was with their main character or not. What I don't understand is why Ive been met with such anamosity with a seemingly logical observation about the challenge itself. This thread is located in general server chat, theres a chance random people of all classes, levels and age will be interested in reading it and want to weight in. If this was suppose to be some kind of sticky note thread then someone should have it sticky'd to the top as no commentary/debate is apparently allowed without a flame fest.
I am not looking to reinvent the wheel, as its easy to simply say "Well go create your own solo list and do that". That was never my intention or desire as I do not have time to devote to something like that. I just was hoping for some debate/discussion about parts of the challenge and other branches of possibility with some of it's avid members/fans. Also the National Basketball Association's team owners PAY players they view best for their team so it doesn't matter that not everyone is allowed to compete in that sport; its a job. If the owner doesn't want to pay you to play for his team obviously you are not capable or viewed as an asset. This is something called the "Solo Artist Challenge" it was not called "Solo Artist Association of Norrath" (which gives a hint that the membership is not for everyone). Maybe if that was the new name I would understand this 'cult' opinion about my dissenting opinion.
