Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

[iruinedyourday]

every time I see this thread inside my head i hear the voice answer the question, 'because it sucks, its not eq'

So thats my reason.

That's because you define EQ by superficial things, like graphics. The spirit of the game is preserved in Luclin, as well as in PoP. Static zones, no instancing, raid spawn competitions, class interdependence. It's still all there, THAT is everquest.

In the same thread you made other arguments too:

Its just a different game.

there are lots of reasons why luclin is not classic EQ

1. the itimization decimiates 80-90% of the camps in classic EQ, so the pop in these zones drops, the value of *classic nameds becomes worthless.

2. new models are stupid and ugly and should go to hell

3. world of warcraft gaming, all that shit, we dont like, if we liked it we wouldnt be playing p99

Your itemization argument doesn't hold. That's the nature of MMOs. Current Veeshan's peak gear trivializes stuff from classic. Look at the solo artist challenge thread, you'll see that with enough gear, you trivialize not only classic, but most of kunark as well.

NToV gear remains relevant, well into Luclin, because it's THAT good. Of course, when you start gearing up in Vex Thal, you replace a few pieces, but Kunark -> Velious gear is a far bigger power jump than Velious -> Luclin.

So you don't like new models, fine. I personally love them. To each their own.

Your last argument is just dumb, though. How is Luclin WoW gaming? No instancing or dungeon finders, you can't "respec" your AAs to become something else. Sure there was mounts, but they weren't really used for movement (except by pallies/SKs) because most casters bought the slowpoke one to be able to cast while sitting in combat.

It might not be the EQ you love, but Luclin/PoP is still classic. Just not by your definition.

Its just the difference between cargo shorts and pants.

Luclin is the best expansion. We will see Luclin.

Depend for what class u play. Velious are ultra boring for mago, i have do all ntov looking the ground making rod rod rod rod rod rod rod. Or before raid coth * 50 time lazy ppl cuz the way to tov is "dangerous" and coth is so easy. Luclin was so cool for mago and liberated them.
Vex thal was so cool, only quest for entrance was hard, but after its CANDY LAND. Farming the faction for velious was more boring than doing the quest for vex thal for me.

Gl for mago with velious ))

I find it funny that so many people mention bazaar ruining interaction, when as it stands with the wiki and auction trackers..it is essentially a bazaar without having a trader mode on..very little interaction..

Player A: What are you asking for X item?
Player B: Wiki has it at Y price
Player A: Ok

...how is that different..shrug

It doesn't 'ruin' interaction, it removes interaction.

It's different because in one case there is interaction, and in the other there is not. The bazaar is like going to a store; you either pay the listed price, or you don't buy it. EC tunnel opens the opportunity for haggling and bartering.

It is not essentially a bazaar without having a trader mode on. You just aren't keen enough to sense the different implications between the two.

The difference is that you at least still have to talk to someone in order to buy something from them.
