After Velious

[SyanideGas]

Thinking about what happens after Velious is already depressing lmao

Imo I think we should roll to luclin, but either have no AA's, or increase the XP multiplier for them so they come faster. AA's without a cap is what made EQ an elitist grindfest. I liked Luclin raiding.

Ending at SoL sounds good even with the weird alien crap.

And the endless gear grind wasnt exactly the same thing?

The gear grind didn't stop people getting groups. AA's, or lack thereof, did. Especially with our fine community. Another thing to note is that the gear jump from velious to luclin was not that high. You can do all of luclin in velious gear which, ideally, has been farmed for a year or so before release. PoP doubled the available hp on gear.

That is until you need to attack Emp Ssra and you're unable to do damage [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Last I checked, rangers, wizards, and druids at least have a difficult time of finding groups due to their lack of group usefulness. AAs fixed that!

And something tells me if you are a warrior 50+ trying to keep aggro with Axe of the iron black, you wont find groups either. So yes, there are plenty of situations where gear will hold you back from getting groups, especially if you are melee.

It seems you are talking about PoP+ content, because from what I remember, nobody was turned away in a group because they didnt have sufficient AAs. Unless, again, it was a class who needed the AAs to become a viable alternative to another monk/rog/enc etc.

Actually most of VT gear was on par or close to PoP era gear.....most people just never got a chance to see it pre-PoP

You can skip Ssra/Seru bane weapons.
