Gotchas. I'm not 100% sure he talked about it in any of the pieces, but one of the things that really got us was back in EQ2 when they released Kurnak. We got off the boat and went straight for Karnors (dungeon). Took our guild and crawled down to the very bottom, and killed the boss a few times. Finally got his very rare drop and was thrilled for a nice ring upgrade. Only to link it in our alliance and find it was worse then the end reward from a solo quest line in the expansion starting area.

It was very demoralizing.
