Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

[Alanus]

Overall, Luclin wasn't that bad. It had a lot of good content:
- Katta vs Seru
- That war thing you had to do to get smithing components
- Maidens Eye had some nice, but not overpowering, 1 group camps
- Umbral was nice for casters to solo at
- The Deep was a fun zone with good camps
- Ssra was amazing
- Akheva and Acrylia were pretty fun
- Emp keying was not THAT bad, but the bane weapons for him were stupid

There was a lot to do and keep busy with. However, the end zone sucked. Vex Thal shards were not that different from Veeshan's Peak medallions, but Vex Thal itself completely sucked. Mobs had way too many HP and clearing it took way longer than it should have. If you started raiding at 4, you'd be lucky to be done by midnight and if you left the Aten goos up, some guild that was on another continent would clear them before you woke up.

Honestly, AAs were nice, but they set the stage for when they made content that you had to have AA for. I.e. in PoP, good luck killing most elemental stuff without MGB heals. I think that was the stupidest thing ever. AA shouldn't be mandatory, they should've been more "helpful, but not necessary"

Ya'll keep thinking social interaction has to be some sort of grand philosophical debate between two players or something

Just having to rely on someone else for a port or having to actually interact with players selling things made the world feel alive. You start taking stuff like that away and it just becomes a single player game that other people inhabit.

Buying SoW potions from a shaman auctioning in EC or an AFK shaman in Bazaar makes no difference. Many interactions in EC neither participant even says anything. Just green accepting of trade and deal is done. So I fail to see the problem?

The world is alive just as much with AFK traders as it is live traders. I'm not going to go solo Trakanon because of some AFK dudes in Bazaar. I still need 30 Neckbeards with sufficient Hot Pocket reserves to shit in a sock, stare at a wall and Batphone after 16 hours that a dragon has spawned that we must slay. I miss the classic days of known spawn times on mobs. Variance is the devil.

Perfectly summarizes my sentiments. I was going to put out a treatise on the terribad of Luclin, but realized I am getting cranky with all this push for generic mmo9000 implementation. I am going to stop writing before I get nasty >.<

Well said.

I've got a fever, babies, and the only cure, is more Durkheim.
