I played for several months and got to be an uber shadowknight. Extended is only good if you've never played before. Why? Fabled and Legendary items/weapons make up 80% of the good/best weapons/armor/anything in the game. They're also good for selling on the broker or transmuting if you don't want them anymore. That ties into the broker and bank/monetary space. Upon that, learning your expert/master spells increases your PvE and PvP tenfold. Two people with the exact same loadouts and characters, but one had master and the other didn't (expert even) would lose. I have to agree that being able to access all the expansions up to the one where they introduced Level 90 is incredible, but if you've played before, you won't want to play it with these restrictions.
