I couldn't agree more, Azor. Verant seems totally preoccupied with
discovering and fixing ways players have found to make the game more
playable, rather than looking for positive changes that should be made to
improve both the classes and the game, itself. It seems all they focus on
is how to make things harder on the players.

Why DON'T they fix Fear Plane, or do something to improve the gosh awful
camping that is going on every single place where a decent item is found.
Last weekend, we (our level 50s) went to like 7 different places to try and
obtain items for some of us that didn't have them. This was at 10am EDT on
a Sunday morning. Every single last place was camped and the lower level
groups that were there told us they would be there all day and nite. Since
there was really nothing else for us to do, (can't go to Fear and noone
needs exp anymore) we all simply logged and went about doing RL things
outside of EQ.

Verant needs to wake up to the fact that their high level players are
getting fed up and bored, and THAT's why they are leaving and/or selling
their characters on ebay and looking for new games.
