I think it's because you setup shop and getting to a camp is a challenge and feels like a victory just getting there let alone grinding at when playing EQ

Well that sums it up for me actually.
That is part of what WoW and some other MMORPGs went about solving as it was seen as a problem. The time, organization and know-how was just too involved. The key here is involved. The raids in WoW might be involved and I suspect that is why the level up is short and was looked over in later expansions. Same thing happened to EQ, 1-20 zone where everyone spawns and finish in 4 hours.

Cut out all of the player cities, forget its a RPG and focus on flavorless 'video game' that makes it more simple and easy.

Imagine being a Human Rogue player in Qeynos or Freeport trying to find their guild on release day of EQ.
