Being able to clear aggro 100% simply by hitting sneak, as well as binding coth mages at spawns, not having to facewalk mobs because they chase you all the way to zone anyway and 6 years of collecting soulfires vs the 1 year on live means the raiding game is trivial and instead of staggered progression and 1 or 2 guilds doing top end, you have tons of top end guilds fighting over mobs that pose little challenge.
The biggest single issue, in terms of game play (not mechanics), is how off the timeline was. Gaining levels, farming gear, and doing it all multiple times over for alts changed the server in ways that would never have happened at launch if we had been on the right timeline. If they ever redo p99 on a fresh server this problem will be fixed.
