So they are taking away the best AA farming method but giving you free AAs to make up for it, sounds like you are really get screwed here.

He wasn't referring just to AAs, he said getting to level 100 that way. Getting to level 100 without any form of swarming is incredibly long and dull, since most classes have been homogenized in terms of play style. Necromancers are weak Magicians, Rogues are Barbarians with a positioning requirement, Rangers are Rogues/Barbarians with a range requirement. But ultimately, they all play the exact same, and it is incredibly boring.
Swarming added some complexity to the game, some strategy. Sure, it takes a long time to get to max level on Project 1999 too, but support/enchanting is still a thing, soloing can still be mentally taxing rather than dull, and so on. It is a far more fun and challenging grind on P1999 than the dull "Kill 5 dogs. Turn in. Say dogs. Kill 5 dogs. Turn in. Say dogs." over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over with absolutely no variation in the camp whatsoever.
Maybe it is just me, but when I think of EverQuest when compared to other MMOs, I think about how free EverQuest lets you be with killing stuff. You can swarm stuff, you can root rot, you can charm, you can AE, and so on. You can't do most of this stuff in other MMOs, and it is what gives EQ its charm and unique appeal.
