There's no winning for losing once you start down that road, there're simply too many different opinions.
The devs seem to be determined to deviate deliberately from classic only when they view it as necessary to curtail bad behavior by players (ex: the <L5 zoning restrictions) or stop game-breaking exploits (ex: the Ivandyr's Hoop nerf). Changing that approach would break with the vibe that made/makes p99 what it is. I can't see that as desirable regardless the little things that irritate you, me, or anybody else.
