If you had to choose: The ONE thing you would change about EQ

I would make pet reagents very expensive, and scaling up with level, but also make pets survive zoning and perhaps even invis. The idea being that if you let your pet die at higher levels, or decide to change elements or chain cast, you're out hundreds of plat.

Being able to zone with pets completely trivializes breaking into Fear. I know it's not that difficult to break in if the raid is doing what it's supposed to but if you could just zone in with half a dozen pets that would be a litttle gimp.

Didn't think of that. Maybe planes can debuff you like PoSky (?) does, including killing your pet. Cost of doing business!

Gonna have to change my original choice.

I'd like my female Erudite to not do the booty shake running animation after using jboots.

Yes, that would be an appropriate compromise.

Actually I would go so far as to propose that any port, gate, or evac poof the pet if they are made to survive zoning and invis.

Makes sense to me in an RP perspective: the thing can walk next to you forever (zoning) and doesn't get confused if you're transparent to visible light (invis) - elementals and skeletons and spectres don't even have eyes to see you with in the first place; but as an arcane construct, it can't step through a portal.

I would do something to help the poor monk and his weight limit. I'm all about keeping gear weight down and having to be picky with armor/weapons. But we can't make any money abroad leveling because we can't hold any loot or coin. Perhaps a Tinkerers bag at birth, or a 0% weight coin purse.

Orrrr...I'd do something with fist damage. Part of the mystique when I made my first monk in classic EQ was the idea that the monk fist could be stronger than any weapon. Being able to rely on fists throughout the game without needing a better weapon would cure a lot of the need for $$ as well.
