I’m spending some time reading about EQ2 last expansion and current state through message boards and reviews. Two comments on F13 are good and generic enough to deserve archiving:

WindupAtheist:
Complaining about the lack of “world” in a mass-market Diku MMORPG is like complaining about the lack of true love in a whorehouse.

Margalis:
Customizing with respecs is of course retarded. How do you have any idea at level 10 what your skills are going to be worth at level 50+? Then throw in the fact that in some games the end game shifts focus dramatically, abilities are buffed/nerfed, etc. It’s just stupid and makes no sense.
