    Went in Elite Lost Mages' Mine with a fresh luck elix with the hope of getting even one snaggletooth or a Wrath Jaw and then coming back out with an inventory full of epics and not even one legendary item.

    • Farming for Ribbit, Kettle and Malison eggs was profitable
    • Elite Glob was a one hit killer!
    • Wrathjaw was a valuable pet at the time
    • Colton was a top pet for Sorcs, so everyone took the time to do all three Bards quests every single day
    • Farming elite Frostir for Entombed Hammers was a good source of income
    • There was a time when there weren't any Locked Crates....just think about that
    • Agile Ranger gear was as good as it got for Rogues
    • Lifethief daggers were so crazy OP that there were endless threads asking for a nerf
    • When running elite Rooks Nest (for Mali eggs), people actually waited for you to respawn and rush to boss before they killed him (since it took 15-20 minutes per run)
    • Running Goldmine, waiting for Ghul to summon three other bosses so you could maximize reroll loot
    • I remember the day the Arena opened, and it was so insanely difficult that I actually complained to Remiem, who of course joined and used a /killall after struggling through the first two bosses and told my party "That's wasn't so difficult lol". It was nerfed shortly afterward.
    • I remember running Planar Tombs 3 with a friend on the first day, both of us raged at the boss, blowing 10 Revenge buffs each before finally killing him. Again, boss was nerfed shortly afterward
    • There was a time when soloing elites was actually extremely difficult and very few players did it
    • Getting a Kraken Skewer drop was the same as getting a dump truck filled with gold
    • NOBODY ran elite Skull Cove...
    • Farming elite Ferrix and Overgrowth was challenging, fun and profitable
    • When you couldn't get a full party, elite LMM (Lost Mages Mine) was common and loot was surprisingly good
    • Taking the time to study pulls and group strategy was actually valuable and made a huge difference in runs
    • An hour of farming elites might have cost you only a couple of deaths...and only because YOU made a mistake (like piercing into a Shaman's stomp)



    PVP
    • The goal of CTF was to capture the flag, and teams actually worked together without blocking/ganging/etc.
    • I remember PvP before pets were allowed, and then a few players figured out an exploit to sneak pets in....they were ganged mercilessly until they left, and their teammates allowed it to happen
    • PvP was all about fair play, strategies were shared over public chat and people actually took the time to teach noobs
    • I also remember the all warrior wolf pack parties with rotating HoR being unstoppable

    I farmed Wrathjaw in the lost mage mine elite, in hopes it'd sell for 20K+, endlessly. To this day, anytime an egg drops, I get super excited... Pavlovian style.

    Totally forgot to mention, there was a time when there were no secondary stat bonsues. Each class only had a primary stat (DEX for Rogues, INT for Sorcs, STR for Wars), so pets that are considered junk these days were actually really good! There was a time when Meep-Moop was considered a serviceable pet for Rogues.

    When secondary stat bonuses were implemented, most players had to farm/purchase new equipment and pets, respec their stat points, etc., which led to a lot on confusion and distress, but ultimately was a short term boon for the economy and ultimately resulted in better builds overall.

    Initially, it was common for players to distribute stat points, creating some, uh, unique builds. Some of you may remember the "tanky" rogues; low damage, very high HP. DEX tanks, with high damage, decent crit and low-ish HP.

    After the secondary stat bonus was implemented, builds became far less variable. The unfortunate side effect is that gear which didn't offer primary AND secondary stats became worthless....which is a trend we still see. Personally, I'd like to see this alternate gear types offer much better stats (like +12% Crit or Dodge for Tactics/Lethality/Fatality instead of the 2-3% which they currently offer) - at least that way, one would at least consider these second/third tier items. Imagine a Rogue in full Tactics gear with 100%+ Crit and Dodge, but -30% DMG and HP....worthwhile? Maybe.
