I was a bard obv. in EQ. One of the things I enjoyed the most, besides community, environs, lore, grinds, guild disparity etc. was the sheer amount of ingame clickies. Granted, some classes had more (us bards/rogues), but the utility and SENSE of character depth, determination, identity etc each item gave (be it Tinker Mask, Sorrowsong Boots, or less pro items like Singing Steel clickies) always had me hungry. I had like fucking 7 bags of class-unique clickies before I quit EQ. My necro had a prenerf CoS, Boneshear, and nearly just as many. Every class could get unique clickies. You know what? WoW and games of today dont have that shit, that indepth feel of truly living in and INVESTING in a character. It did with pvp hk counts and Battlemaster progression, but they social wellfared that too. I WANT a game that can give me that DEPTH of character again. Give me that, and I'm hooked. Fucking clickies... I love you.
On topic of PvP, that's what I did in WoW when they made raids fucking 25 man. That was horse shit. I knew a guy in GoD who would like 15 box the goats in Uqua and sell loot rites. WoW pvp was worthwhile and mostly enjoyable, but in a game like EQ- you all are right, if has little to no purpose.
