It was actually the casual players who suffered, because the rewards were designed around hardcore raiders who could clear Hards with maximum efficiency receiving their shiny new aggro aug in a week. Whereas it'd take your average joe barely being able to clear Normals in the time limit a month to get the same reward.

Only LoY (the worst EverQuest expansion of all time) was a worse idea.
Actually, I can't disagree about a lot that LoY brought in.

But.. what I liked about it - was simple... The zones. Unlike many other expansions they were releasing, it was just straight up non-instanced zones.

LDoN would have been a lot cooler if the add dungeons were more like guk and such - I do agree.
