It wouldn't be everquest and the desire for so many of us to play would vanish very quickly.
The hardcore crowd would quit, casual population would double. History showed that when the population went from a peak of 500 to a peak of 1000 from one summer to the next after the raid content was opened up. It really wouldn't hurt the server if a few more Zeelot caliber neckbeards got angry and quit.

Also, this game is old hat. Everyone knows everything. There is nothing fresh about this server and we still play here anyway. Making a few high end pixels more accessible to everyone isn't going to drive them to quit a game they already beat a decade and a half ago. If anything, they'll play more because they won't burn themselves out playing against greedy people.
