The AA in SoL were the best thing out of that expansion. As for the kitties on the moon and the lore being all strange...so what? It's a fantasy game, if the developers wanted Pugs on Pluto then go for it. The raiding in SoL was great, SSra temple was a blast and had some really great loot. If SoL were to ever come out on p99 it would have to be with out the bazaar because that truly did end trading as we knew and loved it. I also think the bazaar is what lead to the never ending inflation of all prices. Lets get back to the AA: As I walk through EC tunnel right now I see a bunch of warriors/bard/SKs etc all wearing the same top tier gear and they pretty much do all the same dmg. AA led to a whole new level of customization, where if you worked really hard then you got a good payoff. I loved the grind for AA because, like most MMOs, once you have the best gear and the max level, there's nothing left to do but become a sad lonely trader in EC trying to make as much money as possible for your endless twinks. That fucking sucks. Alternate Advancement gave max level characters something to do.
tldr - I'm down with SoL for the AA and the zones....bazaar excluded.
