Its true and you know it. From the little "fetahers and books" over the quest people, to the simple craft system. LON anyone? Server merge? Look, this is a game people want to have fun, you are a small small small minority that wants a hard game. Truth be told, people play these games to relax.The game was made easy.And with more crafters = less need for obscene amounts of plat = less farmers.Simple math
A) the game is not dieing infact while its currently very slowly(mainly because there is an expaintion in a few weeks) growing
B) once again ANYTHING you point to and say it makes it "Like WoW" I can point to another game, many made by SoE, in wich it was done first.
C) How does adding in a differant form of /gems in LoN prove anything about the game going down hill.
D) Um Server Merge? the last time there was a server merge(other then ONE PvP server in Europe that never took off) was nearly 2 years ago.

A) The game will see an increase in player base when the expansion comes out. I agree. But when you log into the game and there are less than 10 people in any given zone during prime time you have low population issues. SOE has to do something to up the player base, or this game will just turn into another EQ1. A very exclusive game with a small die hard fan base. B) I played two tons to max level in EQ2 , went to WOW and did the same there. Came back to EQ2 and was blown away. Quest indicators,removed access quests,revamped broker,revamped crafting.... the game was made simpler just like wow. Do you not think SOE had people trying to catch what was attracting 10x as many people to wow????? please. I bet there were and still are focus groups trying to figure out why wow has 10x the player base. C) If you can not see right away what the huge issue is with putting a card game smack dab in the middle of an RPG.........D) Ill bet ya some plat that before end 2008 you have either #1 a HUGE resurgence of players or another server merge.
