The staff have made decisions to protect the integrity of the game. They have embraced the well reasoned principles of simplicity and objectivity. Their design goals are to recreate the classic mechanics and they remain objective in their implementation to avoid the inevitable ferris wheel of insanity associated with feeling based decision making.

There is no merit to any of your complaints because they only delay completion of the primary project goal. Once all code has been satisfactorily restored in its entirety, staff can (and I am sure will) devote time to what ought to be done to maintain the server.

Your argument of greed here is greedy in its own right. Whether your claim is on your own behalf or that of others is irrelevant, because either way you would benefit (either directly via greater access, or indirectly via the satisfaction gained via realization of your perverse notion of fairness) at the expense of others who have invested more (be the suppliers or purchasers of MQ.

I do not farm MQ, because I am fortunate to be able to play 10-15 hours a week. There are those who are unable to play that much and that can place epics out of reach for many. I may not be able to raid posky for 6 hours, but I can save enough money to purchase my epic over the course of a year of consistent play. There are classes that can make money significantly faster than I can, but you don't see me calling for nerfs to those classes because I chose not to play them.

The notion of fairness suggested in your posts is nothing more than subsidizing failure while penalizing success. It ensures that epics are reserved only for a select few, regardless of investment. Please consider this.
