I don't know how it's being "rude" simply discussing this. I'm not being critical of the devs (direct you to the "I'm sure there are good reasons for it" portion of my comments) I'm just saying that in the 3+ years I've been here I've never understood how these things get prioritized. I notice you didn't start till 2011....Things were a lot more classic at that point.
The order in which things change can have a lot of affect on balance. Nerfing one thing while leaving other non-classic elements in can throw things out of whack, basicly.
For example, notice how there are tons of bards right now, but not a lot of other hybrids? It's not just because they can AoE kite and solo. Bards are a lot easier to play with custom UIs. So the net effect of leaving custom UIs in while reinstating the hybrid penalty is that bards can overcome the penalty by soloing mass amounts of mobs and can overcome some classic limitations to the class with custom UIs while the other hybrids, most of which can't really solo at all, have a harder time getting groups.
I'm not being critical of the devs at all. It's just a discussion of the classic-ness of the server. Sheesh!
Again, back to the original topic, utlizing the Triliogy client fixes a lot of non-classic issues.
