Ugh I'm envious of you that managed to hold onto your screenshots. I used to have so many, finding my first panlid, my first aqua snowboard, finding my level 35 gear at fireboars, grinding at pig beach until level 30 because it made me so much money selling pig heads ;-;.
I'm totally with zenkat here, ironically also a beran, the game was the best when ludi was the "recruitment" spot. It made it easy to find parties, easy to train in groups, and just made the game an overall better experience. I can't remember which patch, but sometime between ludi and aqua...man we got hit hard with botters and even the first dupe hack. I would say gachapon was probably the foreshadowing to what we have today, cubes just kind of ended the job.
The game was better because it was simpler, sure we have tons more content now, but most of it is more of a chore without NX, not to mention much more lonely as everything can be solo'd now. I know I'm beating a deadhorse here but cubes really bothered me because it made this game "every man for himself".
