i don't know why it's so surprising.

It's surprising to him because as an endgame raider type, Luclin clearly improved the game. It made it easier to level up alts, and the existence of AAs encouraged everyone to stay in the high end game. Raids, and the key quests that led to the raids, were very long, so raiders always had something to do.

As someone who isn't an endgame raider type, Luclin clearly killed the game. It sucked everyone away from lower level zones that weren't PC, and the existence of AAs encouraged everyone to stay in the high end game anyway, so you couldn't really LFG outside of PC. Raids, and the key quests that led to the raids, were very long, so people who didn't have as much time were left out in the cold.

It's about the philosophy of playing the game, and I've found that endgame raiders generally don't accept that anyone would be playing EQ for any other reason, so it's difficult for them to understand.
