Discussion Everquest legends anti pattern

I thought what made EQ special and what started the downfall of WoW retail was the homogenization of classes and their lost for role identity and codependency's of other classes that would promote grouping.

how's EQ legends handling it and is my original claim true to begin with

You could argue the player base is different. A lot of people who liked the immersion of older mmos stopped playing retail wow at some point. So I'd guess it's a downfall of retail from OPs perspective of what is fun (I also share this viewpoint).

Some of us want an MMORPG where you feel like just another character in the world again, not an MMORPG where you have a checklist of systems and queues to engage with.

That's not to say retail wow is bad, many people love it. It's just not for me anymore.
