You keep that paladin out of combat, then he can still help during the fight by rezing.

They still do. Zero-time LFG queues will do that to anyone.

I wish they'd make 'WOTLK with Adjustments'
I just want one adjustment: no flying mounts

That's why a good gm would always have a couple tanks waiting in the wings for when the MT eventually gquit from NO ONE APPRECIATES ME syndrome.
Then the cycle begins again

Have they had an xpac with no flying yet?
I recall no flying in WoD, but did they eventually cave in? I had that trinket that tossed you in the air and let you glide for long distances. An acceptable alternative imo.

Yes they tried it in WoD and there was major backlash. If they had tried it in Legion with the flight whistle it would have gone differently I think. What they did in WoD was remove flying, and then make it harder than ever to get around on the ground. It was like they were trying to fuck with people. They would have paths that led up mountains or other hard to reach places that just stopped half way up and then you'd have to run back down and try to find some other way.
Not having flying at the beginning of Legion and again in BfA was a non-issue. I wouldn't even care if they never added it for either expansion.

I have a feeling no flying in WOD backlash was because the fucking STUPID zone layouts. Seriously, go run around those zones. There are so many areas that are just knee height that you can't get over and DH wasn't a thing yet. Literally every zone has them and it sucks so hard to do without flying.
At least Legion and BFA the zones were made with that in mind.

You mean, one of the things that actually made it interesting (unique classes)?

There was a ton of bitching about class balancing in EQ. Caster balance was pretty bad. The resistance bullshit they had in for mage's and necro's was pretty bullshit. It wasn't till the tail end of Velious(iirc) that they removed the absurd resistances.

But, in Velious/Luclin(?) era EQ, it didn't really matter. You weren't capped at 40 people. Generally, more people was always better than less unless the more people were also a liability (e.g. "why did you aggro the flurry drake standing over there..."). More people meant more mouths to feed loot, but you could bring even the most noncontributory. As far as I recall, the largest issue was making sure your tank had the prerequisite HP to not get gibbed.

EQ balance wasn't as much of an issue because early on when the balance was truly bad no one had parsing tools so no one even knew about it. People legit thought like wizards were good in xp groups and just crazy things.
Yeah if good parsers existed in 99, EQ would have been a very different game. Hell at that point there were still quests/nameds/etc that 99% of the player base didn’t know existed, let alone the optimal raid comp or gearing for various classes.
