To me classic EQ = best guild gets all the best shit.

That is my high level look at what defines classic. If you want to start getting into all the micro aspects then you quickly land on 2+ years of kunark not being classic and all other "wah this isn't classic" arguments are just lumped into that same boat.

That seems to be the way this server is running so it seems to me that the non-classic mechanics did nothing more than keep the server hierarchy running as classic vs being some non classic cluster fuck where random guilds that can't get past idle 3 in sky can ninja FTE on trak and have 20 other guilds assist them in the kill.
There shouldn't be rules in place to create a classic hierarchy.

The rules themselves should be classic, and the non-classic aspects (players) decide for themselves what the new hierarchy looks like.

Rules should not be in place to create a classic atmosphere, because it's never going to happen with a modern playerbase. Only a time-machine can achieve this.

The way it works now is completely backwards.
