Most positive EQ change vs. Most negative EQ change

[Gloriana]

Yesterday, I was thinking how much I love the "invite to group across zones" feature. It has made putting a group together so easy and has just really improved the game experience. In your opinion, what are the best changes ever made to EQ? What do you think were the worst changes?

Positive

invite across zones
guild hall ports/POK books (I LOVE THESE I AM SO LAZY)
tabbing out of game
being able to type in exactly how much money to get out of the bank
being able to remove items from bags in the bank, without having to remove the bag from the bank
cross server tells and channels - really improved the sense of a larger community (serverwide.crucible:crucible)

Negative

The old detrimental focus item nerf (became dot only), man it was painful at the time
killing the shortcut in WK! I was so mad!

[Litchebane]

Haha I forgot about some of those, the money one was BIG.

Positive - RAID GROUPS - freaking huge!
being able to click off buffs
Buff Timers
Notification on buffs wearing off
Notification on DEbuffs/DOTs wearing off
Notice a theme here? =P
LFG GUI
Targeting Rings
HoTT - this one is big!
Target next NPC/PC big - for debuff classes!
Alchemy potions - especially the latest ones!
New Tradeskill Interfaces!
MGB - remember how great this was when they first introduced it?
Guess I should stop now....

Negative - I prefer not to dwell!

Positive:

[veeshanMurtak]

Positive:
- Custom UIs (and of course the countless UI improvements - too many to list really)
- /rt
- /cast
- message filtering
- raid mechanics

Negative:
- original slow mitigation
- Gates of Discord
- removal of the original /hitsmode
- non-utility AAs (extra HPs, dodge, crits and the like)

postive

right click on spell gems to load spells through lists

[Redribbit]

Possitive:
****In Game Maps****
Guild Lobby Corpse summoning
Custom UIs
Window Tabbing
Graphic updates (though tough on older systems)
Raid window
Tradeskill windows
Shaman pet changes & Pet Window
Shaman heals
Buff timers
1.5 clickable in inventory

(hard to remember them all but man they did improve the game a lot)

Negatives:
Honestly I know they will change more so I'm not going to bother here


BTW: I definitely don't think GoD is a negative. I think they may have created this before they should have (Omens should have been output first) but Gates is a fantastic expansion. Some of the most interesting raids come from this expansion.

positive

pop, yes ima copycat but those books r the win!
+ it gave me so much to dream about while i was sitting in rathe farming cash for a tarnished driveshaft

Negative

Healing potions.. biggest blow to pvp ever.. buy a bag of potions and your invincible 1 vs 1

[Gloriana]

Really? I thought the healing potions had a 2 minute recast. Is it that significant in PVP?

[KantorZek]

Zerkars hitting for 2,5k resisting 50% of your spells are now also healing...
it makes a huge diffrence.

Gosh I agree with most of what's been posted already. Here's my contribution:

Positive

Removing DD component of DoTs
Spiritual Channeling
Balance of Discord

Negative

Adding yet more useless stat spells (although some did get changed)
Beastlords and Bezerkers
Broken alchemy potions

[Toruk]

Zerkers are pretty bad ass with good gear and AAs. Talking like 700dps

[Gardeltron]

[Vigdis]

Positive:

Possibility to increase the power of your character even after 6 years.
UI customization.
World changing over time. Frogs/Trolls thingy.

Negative:

The death of traveling (just point and click where you want to be, like star-trek, gee how fun).
The death of the newbie cities. I dont think i have see ONE SOUL in Halas at the same time as me for over a year.
PVP. It's a joke.

[Brohg]

The newbies "are in a better place now"
