I never had the desire to play EQ2. Is it any good?

EQ2 is total shit. I tried really hard to like it and even got close to level cap, but it was really depressing every time.
The graphics and lighting engine were cool for the time, and I liked player housing and some of the other things, like the mentor system. But the combat is just face-numbingly boring, kiting has been 100% removed, and the game has also been WoWified since release like EQ1 with no death penalty, etc.
If I recall correctly, turning on autoattack actually locks your character onto the mob physically. So every encounter, which other players are locked from participating in, feels like a rails shooter with button mashing instead of a fun shooting mechanic. It's just terrible.
Also it's sparsely populated and the people who do play are cut from about the same cloth as Second Lifers. That was cool when I was a horny 15 year old ERPing an ultra submissive japanese girl but even then it wasn't worth staying subbed to the game.
