I wish it had never happened.
Big Bang was bad by itself, and it was even worse in that it opened the floodgates to continuous "rebalancings" that leave nothing consistent in the game. Classes keep changing at random, and new ones tossed in. New entire sets of equips, as well as new scrolling and enhancing options, are introduced continuously, making it impossible to plan your "endgame gear". Mastery books are such hell to obtain and pass that people can indeed get to 120 easily - but most end up abandoning their chars 10-20 levels later.
As for myself, I was 180 when Big Bang hit, 182 when LHC came out. LHC got me to 200, but I would have done it in ToT with my army of rep mules anyway.
My bishop, on the other hand... When we got Potential, before BB, I was easily able to find it some 20% int and make it 100% 1-hit skeles with Genesis 20. It was all set to cruise to 200, helping buddies and guildies train along the way. Then Big Bang happened....
