There was a comment in another post about 'the interface playing the game for you'. I gave this some thought, and to some extent it's true. But like you said, there are some mods that I could never play WoW without (60 Hunter, 60 Priest), things like CT Raid Assist and Raid Tracker.
It's been hard trying to transition to EQ2, I'm enjoying the experience so far but there are a few things that I miss, like the mini-map with party icons for positioning. I find in EQ2 I get seperated from the group once and a while and it's a pita to find out where they went.
I do agree that some of the WoW mods were over the top, and probably automated way too much, like Gatherer and some of the pet managing mods, but there were a few that I'd like to see in EQ2 that should be possible, like:
CooldownCount: display a timer on the buttons with cooldowns over x seconds, rather than the vertical shading that makes it really hard to tell when an ability is ready.
CT Raid Assist had an option to let the group leader specify the Main Assist (up to 5 of them), and then you could just bind a key to assist MT1, assist MT2, etc. In EQ2, the macros seem limited to 3 commands, so I end up having to use F2-F6 then press my assist key (rebound to F since it's what I'm used to).
Changing or adding chat text. I really wish this was possibly in EQ2, I really don't see the need for a "Foobar says in out of character 'lol'." when a simple "OOC> Foobar: lol" would fill up less space and allow for less line wrapping.
I've only been playing EQ2 for less than a week (17 Predator), so my experience is somewhat limited.
