I think the whole concept of most MMOs is stupid. There's a huge grind barrier to level or gear up that doesn't really pose much of a challenge. Then you get to endgame and all you can do is sit around waiting for raids because - hurdur, dragon has gotta drop da best loot, rite? - but actually raiding is the easiest part of the game for most classes. You just fulfill your specialized role as part of a heal or DPS chain and go afk.
I'm hoping this server will be different. I really feel like EQ was designed around and shines best in content for 1-4 toons. They gave us some cool tools to use in our kits that don't get used in traditional tank and spank raids. Particularly fighting a mob within the context of a dungeon crawl is a lot different than fighting in the kind of sanitized no-risk raid zones we see PoP+.
(Speaking of which, the only reason raids take so long is because they put a bunch of pointless trash for you to clear before the boss. More trivial timesinks... ugh)
