(This is not directed at anyone in particular, if anyones takes offense to this, that is your problem)
I disagree. Undertaking reimplementing a full 3D client is a major undertaking.
Most SoE patches that "break" EQEmu are OpCode changes. Less often structure changes. Even less often major changes like the 6/22 reinstitution of login crypto.
The first two would be solved a lot faster if:
1) People were half-way smart about patching. Backup before you patch. It's not a new thing.
2) Don't just sit there and bitch about it. Get on Live and collect some packets. Don't have a live account? Find a buddy who does and get him to or use his account.
3) Pull the code and fucking fix some bugs yourself. This is -OPEN- source remember.
We recover from most patches pretty quickly, I feel. And the smarter people are about patching the longer they will be able to play while we become compatible with live.
