The server is a raging success for the sole reason that the working man can get off work at 5, get home and have dinner with his family, and then log into Everquest and go raid with his guild on any content they choose. When AoS woke Kerafym, they are now dictating what Joe Blow Casual gets to raid (to an extent, of course). That's why people are pissed off. It isn't AoS's fault. It's DBG's fault for allowing it. It was stupid. It was poorly designed back then and even worse of a design now, ESPECIALLY on a fully instanced server. It just boggles my mind how these Devs thought this was a good idea. I literally just cannot get over how stupid they are sometimes.
My fearless prediction is that after next patch day, everyone's going to have their weekly choice: ST 1.0 or 2.0.
