2. There is no GE, you're standing in a market shouting for what you want and if you want something obscure, you'd better pay through the nose for it.
3. No Summoning or Dungeoneering - meh I don't mind this so much
Although I agree on the nostalgia point.
No GE is a positive for me. I enjoyed standing in w2 Fally park merching my way up. Things weren't as accessible, so gear was not received in a greater bulk.
Summoning meant you could live forever and made p2p easy of stink. Yakking it back, and basically carrying an extra inventory or two in your BoB meant people lasted way too long.
DG just allowed people to one item with C Maul in p2p. Although I can agree with you in regards of F2P, making it much more enjoyable in f2p, but are they bringing out f2p servers?
Note: I'm neutral here.
