In future expansions you could zone into raid zones without instantly dying though which helped a ton - it at least gave you a chance to have a necro or SK summon your corpse. Try that with Fear or Hate xD
No shit, I remember some of the top guilds on my server would have to come in and help others CR when they failed on Fear breaks. I remember my own newb ass guild having a 5 or 6 hour Fear break, as in failing that many times and going back in with backup gear repeatedly. Even in Velious, many guilds could still wipe on raid content. I was called in to help 2nd and 3rd tier guilds CR in Plane of Growth many times.

This server is fantastic, but things are not tuned to the exact same difficulty of classic, and as others have mentioned, most of the playerbase knows these zones very well now. The collective experience means we are all starting way down the learning curve instead of square one.
