The server's stated intent ("Classic Everquest" - read as "as Classic as possible given client limitations and other factors") is why people are arguing for Classic mechanics, not out of love for Classic mechanics over love of the server (I'd gladly take no EXP penalty for hybrids, advanced tracking windows, and compass, thanks very much).

By definition, this is not a logical fallacy, and it is laughable that you would pretend this is an appeal to tradition fallacy.

Idiots who try to pretend they understand rhetoric are the worst kind of idiots.
You show yourself in the foot there. Key phrase... "as classic as possible", debating what is possible in a current context is a viable concept. Saying no simply because soulfire were usable in classic does not demonstrate proper thinking. I love how you quote your own interpretation of a phrase and then deem everyone should use that.

Maybe you should learn about rhetoric and fallacy beyond a wiki page haha.
