The issue for me is they pick and choose when to do things the classic way and arbitrarily make non classic changes for whatever reason and it's typically not the type of changes players are asking for or want to see that would actually improve the QoL of the server and it's players. Such as making warriors actually able to generate threat and tank prior to max lvl with some of the best threat gen weapons in the game. I wish they'd just pick a side of the fence and stick to it. Either be classic in every sense or abandon any notion that your ultimate goal is classic and just do things in the way that makes the most sense regardless of what is and is not classic.

Part of the reason Enchanters are so much better than Warriors has nothing to do with classic EverQuest, and everything to do with the unclassic P99 mechanics. Just as one clear example, Channeling here is not classic: that makes Enchanters (unclassically) more powerful than they should be, because it's no big deal when that high DPS pet breaks charm here ... they can just channel a recharm.

If the staff just does what it says in the upper-left corner of our screens ("Classic EverQuest") Enchanters wouldn't be the unclassicly powerful class that they are here.
