Why is it

[Clark]

The main reason is the MMO culture as we all know has been changing to "everyone deserves to have the best item(s)". This has ruined the days of true MMO sandbox games.

We've completely shifted away from classic Everquest, and allowed current day MMO mentalities to fester their way into rules and policy here.

The playerbase isn't at fault even though it has had influence on changing the way things are done here. It's the staff for allowing classic Everquest to be destroyed by these policies. More and more policies, more and more rule changing. It's becoming like our government. Simplicity is the way of the sandbox, and we're far from the classic simplicity we once had here.
