I loved the crafting in SWG. I had one of the largest businesses on Corbantis. Good times we probably will never see again [:(] MMO's anymore are grind to a max level, then grind the same stuff repeatedly for better 'gear' [:(]
That's the problem with just about all MMO's if not all the constant grind to get higher level so you can get higher gear to get higher levels to get higher gear to etc. etc. It's why I like Guild Wars as everyone gets the same gear an instead it's about skill using that gear. Though it's another that gets kinda boring because once you have that top gear there's nothing to strive for anymore but playing the same ole pvp battles and teams over n over.
The thing about EQ that made it better than most is it was an Everquest. There is so much to do in that game you will never do it all. Some epic quests are just that and take you all over the world of EQ to get the resources you need to complete the quest. It was and is a real life adventure. Plus you can solo it now all the way up to level 65 and even after if you are careful. You also don't have to sit as much as you used to before attacking something else. The old content is dead as just not many playing it anymore.
It's still the ole hack n slash for better loot though as most of them are.
When MMO's were new though EQ and SWG were the tops. Now there are so many and they are all alike trying to get your money with the free to play lure when it takes money to get the good stuff.
