That moment when you decided to quit EQ live

PoP was a godsend for noobs traveling so that a druid doesn't not port them because they can't pay 50 plat for a port.

Forced interaction isn't a good thing. Nor is complete solo play.

Allow players to interact as they wish, and choose with whom they interact. Sending a tell to a random druid/wizard for a port isn't any interaction at all. If that druid were a bot you really couldn't tell much of a difference at all. "Port to WC please", druid arrives, invites to group, ports, SoWs, you input coin. Its no different from a robot.

Tbf, this server and (old) live were/are totally different. The scum and filth you find here is nothing like what you saw back in the day. It's a bit unfair to compare this stagnation to the glory days.

Fair point on the port. Except that I've made long-term friends in EQ just by doing something like asking for a port, or haggling, or grouping.

That isn't possible with a robot.
