One thing that always bothered me about EQ, that I hope they address this time around, is this:

Me: Level 60 badass, slayer of dragons, savior of the people

New continent is discovered (expansion)

Me: Visits these newly discovered lands

*wack*

"You've been slain by a snow bunny"

Me: wtf

I get that you need trash mobs and wildlife in your new expansion, and that things need to progress. But it makes no sense for bunny_01 to be more powerful than that dragon you killed last week.

Thats why I quit WOW. Youd raid and raid get raid gear then new expansion or content opens and the same ilvl gear available in 5 man dungeon finder.

I didn't have much of a problem with camping except for things that had ludicrously bad drop rates in places that provided no other desirable rewards ie complete monotony. But one thing that I really did enjoy in one EQ expansion were the group trials in Muramite Proving Grounds. They were a selection of decently balanced, scripted single group events with a good reward at the end. Perhaps they were easy for over geared raiders but as a group player they were a good challenge and it's a shame that SoE didn't perpetuate that system and instead took the easy and boring road of instanced crawls through trash and a boss.

To be fair, a decent amount of Sunwell gear lasted me until heroic dungeon gear in wotlk as a rest shaman.

Oh shit! You've caught me and exposed my dastardly plot to convince everyone that EQ has less expansions than it actually does!

I was more surprised by your concept of time if you thought that a 2004 expansion for an ongoing game was recent.

The intended context was to follow along the same line as a question about your most recent job, school, relationship or in this case EQ expansion. Thanks for pointing out my error.

Did you have any thoughts about my post aside from that? Did SoE do anything interesting with group content in the later expansions?

I played for about 7 expansions past that and to my recollection, nothing came close to the proving ground trials. I agree that it was some of the best content I played in EQ. The raid trials were similarly fun.

I think the Trials exp was my last but I enjoyed the shit out of the Trials as tailored group progression. Had a solid group of friends that worked them and it was meaningful.
