it depends on where the staff go with it, but if we keep on with the "blue isn't real" then it probably will be a wasteland for low levels while green still won't be that enjoyable for people who aren't extremely competitive or just looking for a quick nostalgia fix.

It’s not the “loot casino” that is what makes it fun, it’s having to work for literally everything instead of buying a whole loadout of gear for a pittance that is tons more fun.
Challenge is fun, being able to afford what was considered godly level gear on live with the gold someone camping guards handed you because it wasn’t worth them holding on to is the opposite of fun.

the only "challenging" thing about everquest in any incarnation from vanilla through whatever shitshow they're on now is having the free time to keep pulling the lever until you hit a payout

I guess it’s more of a love/hate relationship in your case. Sorry you don’t enjoy it more or find it stimulating.

i play for the game and happen to get loot along the way, rather than playing for loot and enjoying content along the way, so blue's economy isn't fucked to me. otoh green sounds like absolute hell, with everyone in mega-toxic mode, myopically vying for chances to pull the lever in a way that will preclude anyone actually enjoying the game for the game.

ultimately those who believe Green will bring the magic back for them in a way Blue doesn't are just as naive as the people who believe Blue will go on as if nothing happened. anyone who's been part of the UO emulator scene knows how the cycle of more competitive people pushing out less competitive people with each reboot we're about to enter here goes.

I guess if the only way you can see possibly playing the game is seeking out loot levers and competing for a chance to pull them then you’d have a pretty dim view of the game.
Sorry you ended up this way? You know people will be having loads of fun grouping in low ZEM outdoor zones with no major loot drops, right? Because EverQuest is fun? No?
