So what's there to do in Velious anyway?

I liked the implementation of AAs as well, if they had been thought out a little better so they didn't break classes. It gave people something to do (as stated above) after obtaining the max level, other than raiding constantly. If it were me, I would have done Luclin, and PoP (which I actually somewhat liked) without all the teleportation and knowledge books and instead add portal spells to wizards and druids further making them useful in the travel department. They completely destroyed a druid/wizards usefulness when they implemented the books and scions. Also they bazaar would have to go, EC tunnel trading is so much more fun that running up to a PC character that isn't even there and clicking on them to browse their wares.

Before the Bazaar, most EC tunnel traders had become bots anyway running MQ scripts for buffs / sales...so it wasn't that much different. Not that I liked the Bazaar, nor did I like the books / scions, nor the town bind npcs.

True, although at least in EC it took someone sitting behind a computer to trade with you than just leaving your PC on overnight. Actual interaction is always better than nothing, it basically just added more NPC traders to the game without Sony having to create them.

I don't spend a ton of time in ec, and sometimes it can be frustrating trying to find something you need.

BUT

The mechanic of actually trading with people and negotiating prices/trades is fun when it works, even when it is for small amounts.
