I remembered a couple more while doing my panic mining for silver ore before maint to make glam prisms:
Gathering stealth used to be like ROG/NIN stealth: you couldn't run or mount up while in stealth, you just walked slowly. You could hit sprint and you'd just walk fast (you can still achieve this effect if you toggle run to walk and then hit sprint.) Mounting up would break stealth. No weird light bubbles around you for it either, it was just... invisible like a ninja lol. The only thing the same was how effective it was compared to enemies in a specific level range.
There was also no "Enable quick gather", you had to hit every single thing you wanted to gather up every time. The quick gather was a godsend.

I remember burning myself out with farming atmas at Bronze Lake for a non-upgrade
I remember having a panic attack in Labyrinth of the Ancients because I kept dying and felt really bad about it.
Darklight armor on everyone, absolute garbage accessories that nobody ever upgraded.
Titan landslide one-shotting some tanks.
I loved Aurum Vale just because people with better gear than me found themselves being slapped silly by the level sync.
Gosh 2014 was a long time ago.

My best recollection of those early periods of ARR were things like the really quick Castrum Meridianum speed runs, complete with bongo drum sounds in the chat and lots of chat emoji's, those i
remember as being fun even though most of the time we were all just goofing off while also farming currency for our gear.
