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"
