I'm with Zal on this one. I did NOT enjoy logging on at 10am, immediatly getting pushed into a guild group for Blackrock and spending the next 8 hours running BRD and UBRS. I did not enjoy being a druid who was only useful if spec'd Innervate. I didn't enjoy spending as much time farming mats for raiding as I did raiding {Fire res pots and the never-ending Incendius farms for Fire Res of the Appropriate Class bracers, anyone?}

The only thing that was actually fun back in those days was PvP, where you could spend hours defending/assaulting at SS/TM. And it was fun because it was all regular people looking to have some fun. No one got anything out of it and it wasn't gear vs gear.
