Its not all about NX. Altthough I'd say it's the main reason for which the game has gone downhill.
My best moments in MS were back when the highest place to train was gobies. Back then I could grind for hours and not get bored. Then when leafre and 4th job was released, the party system was changed drastically to a 2 people party in which one had to be a mage or it wouldnt work well. You still could party the old way, but it became much harder.
Another thing that may not bother me as much as the NX or the party issue, but i sure didn't like was allowing guilds to grow up to 100 members and the addtion of the alliance system/chat. I find it hard to fit in a guild when i cant remember most people's names. It makes you choose between being in a small guild in which you will know every one and chat with them, or a big guild in which you wont talk to any one but you can boss and ddo PQ's.
To finish, as every one has mentioned, there's also the NX issue. I miss the days in which i only needed 30k nx every 3 months to revive my pet and get a new NX outfit. Now that's been changed to like 50k nx a month so you can get some 2exp cards, 2 drop cards for hunting, do some gachapon, buy a store, and of course, use SUPERMEGAS
.
I know there are solutions for every one of these. Maybe I should have addapted to the game as it evolved but I just I don't like the way it did.
