1) He already had several anti-MR flags, although he had a very low MR value. This gives some behind the scenes evidence that someone thought he should be resistant.
2) There is more evidence that he should be resistant than there is that he should not be. Find some evidence that he should be slowable and/or soloable in classic.
3) It goes with the group spirit of Everquest. I have no doubt that he was soloable on P99, moreso if/when people understood which immunities he had. I have no doubt that there is or was a character just sitting at his spawnpoint soloing him every 36 hours. I would rather have him remain up and be killed by groups that walk through.
4) His drops are very good items and will remain lucrative even in Velious. His drop chance has increased overall, and his difficulty was only really increased for those who want to solo him. He will still not be a challenge for most groups.
