It's mindboggling to me that someone can sit here and advocate for insta-ports on a classic server with the argument that they're just "convenient" and that adding them doesn't remove "anything important" from the game experience. These are the same arguments behind every disastrous change to the game that has made it unrecognizable from its original design.
Also, saying that ports are "not a class defining" ability for Wizards and Druids is one of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard said about this game. Imagine if there was an NPC in every zone in the game that you could drag your corpse to and get a rez after handing the NPC some plat. That would certainly be convenient, wouldn't it? Definitely. It sure as fuck wouldn't be Everquest, though.
