I did play, I do know the answers and can even research or bring in others from the community who played during the era to cross reference my assertions.

I just am not sure even with Alecta at the helm, if that is the goal. I don't like the custom direction things are heading (hey have ya met me?) and the classic system was hardly flawed. People (not just 5 griefer jerks) did truly enjoy it.
Do we have hard numbers on how RZ was coded? Looking up spell resist modifiers is only a very small piece of the puzzle. There were a lot of PVP specific resist changes, damage modifications, etc.

I guess I'm not sure either, if the goal is a classic resist system or to make one up from scratch. I think resists in general are off both in PVP and PVE, I've noticed it is nearly impossible to land spells on yellow cons and very difficult on even cons until they are debuffed in PVE and I don't remember it being such a struggle on live.
