Often times the boss monsters had no unique look, and were nothing more than a regular monster with 4x the damage, 50x the hp, and some assrape AE every 30 seconds. The loot, was often class specific (which is an allocation nightmare when you have ~24 classes,) and the process of getting it had the worst bang/time ratio.

Raiding, in general is boring, but EQ2 just exemplified it more. True, I had a boring and gimped out class (troubadour,) but nothing made me fall asleep faster than EQ2 raids.

I don't know if EoF changed anything.

Not everyone runs raids in extreme performance (edit for goof). Class specific loot rocks imo.
