Reimagining EQ and what Sony should have done

[maskedmelon]

If the masses like WoW, they can keep it and leave us to debate savor the finer titles of this genre, debating important things like the meanings of the words force and engage.

In all honesty I think most WoW hate is rooted in the understanding that the mass appeal of the WoW model rendered our preferred model unprofitable, essentially hijacking our fun!

I actually enjoyed WoW at first. Even BC didn't kill it for me, since I enjoyed playing a blood elf paladin. It was all fine until I came back to try Cataclysm and noticed that my hunter no longer had any use for her melee weapons and my rogue could no longer apply her poisons.

Maybe they were good changes, but coming back from time away to find that I couldn't play the character the same way...

The only thing that could have made it any better was increasing the difficulty. For example, less xp for killing critters.

Yeah, I'm good with everything through PoP. The worst thing about luclin imo was the stupid exp available in that lowbie zone off of Shadowhaven, Paludal.

After PoP, not so much.
