Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

because soe catered to the lowest denominator starting at the release of SoL

cat people were dumb
bazaar ruined trading
new graphics looked like shit
new ui was dumb
mounts were dumb
porting to nexus was dumb

Its not a huge leap from lizard people to cat people [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lizard people don't lick their anuses when cleaning themselves

Maybe I played a different version of Velious somehow but there is no way you could get the faction required for quest turn-ins by "tagging the boss on a few kills"; that's an outrageous statement ...

Either you get highly offended very easily, or you just did the exact same thing (exaggeration) that you are accusing me of. Regardless, the factioning in Velious is pretty much the only grind there is to that expansion, and it's orders of magnitudes easier than the grind from any other expansion. It'll take a week or two at most if you don't do it retardedly (hint: you can faction much faster in larger groups than solo). Velious was such an easy expansion, far easier than pretty much any modern MMO expansion.

is there any point to these theorycrafting threads about luclin

the developers of this project have already stated it's not happening. ever.

pointless circlejerk

nope. solo dorfs. turn in heads. if you're solo, you get to keep them all instead of having to split with a group.

Some people just don't grok the concept of "nerf."

A nerf can mean two things.

One, it can refer to nerfing the player, making a player less powerful, by removing a weapon, item, etc. This was very rarely the problem with everquest

Two, it can refer to nerfing the game, where things become too easy and the player becomes too powerful. This is what happened with everquest

And that is your answer, op.

Mounts were not visible or usable unless you used the new graphics IIRC, making them ultra-dumb.

With old graphics, other player's mounts would appear as a naked (i.e. bikini-clad) woodelf female with a "Soandso's Mount" nameplate above the head. I'm sure the nerds who made & approved that choice thought themselves very clever.

AA's do not add anything to post 60 exp. They create artificial levels, second tier levels.
They are an "Alternative" to adding more levels. Reason is, because most of the code is based on level, and adding levels would have thrown their calcs out of whack, so they added this "alternative" to leveling.

But AA's were not optional, you had to grind them out if you wanted to stay competitive.
And they were either bandaids to broken abilities, or overpowered/trivializing abilities to allow people to solo more.

Another thing I notice, many of these pro-Luclin responses include Boxing.

Also, the models are so horribly ugly.

I'll go ahead and make the bold prediction that no guilds will take the "right" path of gearing up 30-40 solid raiders to then challenge tormax/aow/ntov.

Indignation will be fighting the good fight against the zerg.
