Oh, and there were about 6 resists, so oftentimes we had to have 6 different types of gear. And this is before factoring in things like items that had to be clicked for effects, debuff prevention items, potions, food, and water (you would lose stats if you didn't have food and water regularly. And it also gave stats later in the game's life.)

Curious as to when you played EQ1? I played for a good 7 years or more. I was in a couple of raiding guilds. Never once had resist gear. With the resist stats on gear + AAs+ buffs + the veteran buff I never needed resist gear. EQ did have a lot of slots though. Good and bad I suppose. I do miss a lot of things from that game.
