Yes and no. Had they just said "this is our server, it is how it is, we're trying to make it classic like". Then that would all be peachy keen and groovy. Fact is though. They have come out and said that there whole goal is to make this as classic as possible. Nil if has even said he wants it to be like a museum to the game he played and loved. Which I think is awesome. But once they said it's classic or die. And defined there era of classic as being old world, kunark, and velious only. Then they opened it up to the public and the public opinions of what is classic. The only way to get through the onslaught from both sides is to never waver from your goal of a pure, classic as it was in 1999 server. And fact is, in 1999 I could bard kite whole zones with a half decent computer and a steady internet connection. A level 1 cleric with its epic could clicky 96% Rez his buddies in west Freeport. The boats actually came every twenty minutes. Hide/sneak combo wasn't an auto memblur. And there was only one, I repeat ONE chat window for everything. They should either go all the way to pure classic. Or publish a list of the non classic changes they intend to make. No more of this "were a pure classic server, except for..... this..... and that.... and that thing over there..... and maybe that other thing we are gonna think up later.

The level 1 with the epic speaks to the "classic feel" over the "classic mechanics." There were simply not that many level 1 clerics with the means to have a click stick, so the devs here had to make a creative solution to make the game play more like it did in classic, despite sacrificing some of the mechanics.
The bard AoE thing, I feel like everybody has amnesia. Doesn't anybody remember swarm kiting, where you would charm one of the things in your swarm, and send it in to get slaughtered by the rest?
I also don't remember the mechanics of how it worked, but on my druid sometimes things would attack me in Qeynos Hills and bears would attack those things to help me out.
