1. I think you have this completely backwards

No, you just have misinterpreted what I said.

small example:
EQ - Leveling 1-10 is hard as sh*t when you're not twinked or buffed
WoW - Follow the green line to lvl 20 (whatever the fluff the cap is)

I never said eq was easier. Grinding in eq is a lot harder, that is if you solo. As for groups, well eq is pretty easy but it just takes time. Unless you have a bad group I suppose.

2. EverQuest mob/item (spawn rates) availibility are completely intentional to avoid early mudflation. It's not for the sake of the community that you have spawn rates for some grind group mobs around 1/100, it's a direct fix to the game to avoid, as I said previously, an influx in gamebreaking items.

Yes, Im aware of this. Trouble is its a terrible solution, and you only have to read through the posts in this forum to see why. Sorry but I dont want to put up with that shit. More power to you if you like KS'in and being KS'd and training people and flaming/being flamed on forums. Most of us prefer actually playing the game and not having to put up with that sort of crap from other guilds and players.
It reminds me of one of the things that was definitly one of the proverbial straws that broke the camels back, back in 2002-3 when we were a small guild trying to progress, and to get anywhere from our current situation we needed to get keyed for VT.
So we camped all our shards and did all the work, and for just about everyone in the guild, all that was needed was the emperor ssszra kill. Our guild kept checking to see if he was up, and pretty much stagnated for about 3 months before people eventually got sick of it and the guild broke up.
Normally it wouldnt have been so much of a problem, but another guild was farming VT at the time, and they didnt want the competition, so they kept emperor killed. They being on a US time zone, and us being on an asian time zone, meant that they raided up to about a few hours before we started.
I believe the term for it is cockblocking, and I believe the respawn time for emperor was either 5 days or a week. Of course it would spawn a nice multiple of 24 hours after it was killed, so once you killed it once, you "owned" the spawn.
Anyway Im pretty much through with this server. I was planning on playing it until civ 4 and elemental war of magic came out, but I think Im going to cut that short because I dont want to have to put up with the shit that happens here. I play MMO's to fight monsters, not to be jacked by other asshats.
