Not agreeing or disagreeing, just seeing what you were trying to say. I think your concerns stem from another issue you addressed, which is the vast knowledge and accessibility of the game now vs then. More high level characters don't create more camped mobs, op items, etc; the knowledge does
this differentiation may be pedantic though /shrug

Knowledge is definitely a large factor but you don't think gearing out your whole guild, and many others, in PoSky/BIS Kunark gear over the span of 4 years didn't lead to a problem?
Velious was released 6 months after Kunark. Think how many people were actually level 60, VP keyed, and farming Trakanon/VS/CT/Inny/etc compared to how many guilds were cycling these mobs over the span of these years. There was clearly a huge differentiation between what P99 is and what live was, regardless of knowledge. The amount of gear is exponentially greater on P99 than it ever was in Classic. If P99 restarted a server on a normal Classic -> Velious timeline, things would be massively different in terms of how many people could actually compete over the Velious bosses.
I think a recycle server would be excellent but I'm also one of those people that LOVED Planes of Power so stopping at Velious hurts a bit.
