patch day kills were usually the only way under-dog guilds could get some kills...especially on bottle-neck/key mobs.
since everything is up on patchday, the top guild can't watch everything...giving the under-dogs an opening.
imo, this system was a tremendous part of what classic EQ was...given the mission of the server to recreate classic experience as much as possible I think this is a good idea.
it's also an idea that has been brought up before, and I believe GMs have said that they can't do it without manually popping the mobs as they are afraid that folks would intentionally crash zones forcing a reset to spawn mobs.
