To me it seems pointless to strip a feature out of the game that's just going to cause individuals to have to leave the game on a regular basis to utilize a tool that would have been unnecessary had that feature been left in game.

So true. I harp on about how the developers KNEW long before this server was a reality, that times have changed. Between the knowledge people have amassed over the years, the advent of the internet and the increase in communication options(Voice/VOIP etc) - trying to juxtapose a truly classic EverQuest server, would be impossible.
The 'it's classic' excuse seems to be just that, an excuse - to silence any sort of creativity or constructive criticism.
The problem is that 'classic' became subjective, not objective, which is obvious by the adjustments they did make, sadly none that happen to be anything but a hindrance to the server.
