Huge pros and cons to whichever direction you went (that you discovered about 300 hours into gameplay). We are just all a bit more impatient these days with the imperfections.

I chuckle a bit at myself in the sense that I detested EQ's class balance back in-era. It caused numerous forum arguments/rants/etc and caused me to un-subscribe more than once. On P99 class balance doesn't bother me at all because I know what I'm getting going into it. There's no uncertainty here. Everything is laid out in advance and I'm free to make my choice without ever feeling cheated. As you say, EQ has its own sort of balance where about any class has some things it's good at and other things it's not so good at. None of the tank classes in this game are "full service." They're at their best in different areas of the game and all have their own weaknesses. I wouldn't necessarily call EQ's approach better than the more modern notion of having classes that perform similarly within their respective roles, but knowing in advance how things work on P99 I can accept EQ's system for what it is without complaint. Sometimes having the benefit of hindsight is a real nice bonus.
