Long read but I agree 100%
My eq server was never as bad at end game as it is on p99. But then again we had like 5 years of kunark and the server is hella top heavy.
I just feel like the devs here should make unclassic changes for the spirit of classic eq. I mean the raid class system is an example of an attempt at it. So at least they're aware and have made attempts to remedy some issues

I agree, some changes, if well thought out and properly implemented, could go a long way to making the end game experience much more enjoyable, and in my opinion, more classic. I'm not asking for instances or even increased spawn timers. But with how much time GM's must be spending dealing with raid lawyering (according to sirkens stream, rogean, two guild masters, and a third party "raid lawyer" even had to meet in real life to settle a dispute once... that's insane..)
Why not set up and enforce a rotation? I imagine it would be much less time out of your schedules seeing as once rotation was established, players could police it by reporting violations and gm's could raid ban guilds. Much less lawyering. Just a simple "it wasn't your turn, everyone knew it, say hi to raid ban." Hell wouldn't even have to necessarily be present as a gm at all once system was established and was being respected.
Plus, it would create a whole new end game economy. Say guilds have to kill the mobs they've signed up for, at least one every rotation. So if a guild has signed up for rotation on 3 mobs, they have to kill at least one of them every cycle of the rotation or get dropped from it. Obviously they can kill all three as they are signed up. But let's say when second mob pops, they know they won't be able to muster the requisite force in time, so they could potentially give there slot to another guild on the agreement that a player gets to go with them and get there epic piece if it drops. Or you can take our faydedar kill this month if you MQ a cleric epic to our guild, or pay our guild 100k etc. I don't know, kind of rambling, but might provide an end game play sink (something the economy badly needs), and end a lot of the raid lawyer petition questing, freeing up GM's to do other stuff with there limited time.
