People are more than welcome to play the race that they think is neatest, but in any discussion about what's best, it's asinine to begin talking about how erudites are actually fine as long as you simply have the best gear that exists in the game. How many BiS SKs exist on blue? Is there even one, after all these years?

Every race/class is fine imo. Less gear just means other party members have to pay closer attention, which can make xp grind sessions more exciting. It would be interesting if there was a Dark Souls deprived type race/class option in EQ, where players could choose to be a beggar character with low starting stats across the board and faction issues in all of Norrath. There's min/max, but then there's also the opposite of that, just not to such extremes. Doing more with less adds an element of danger in otherwise run of the mill content.
