If they are going to fix the scaling fine, but just putting a cap in place and having every cleric on the server with the same manapool is indeed retarded. Confirmed I can remove 6 pieces of gear and still hit this "cap". Hell our shitty geared 3 cleric bots are close to this also.

Allow me to correct the misunderstanding you seem to have about Project 1999. Blue/Red are not here for your (or mine, or any other player's) amusement: they are here to (essentially) beta test the code for "Green" (AKA the "as classic as humanly possible" server). Project 1999's maintainers didn't spend eight years of their life just to make people happy: if that was all they wanted they could have released a non-classic server years ago.
What they want is EQ
as it was in 1999(-2001). That means mana caps, crappy druid tracking, no buff timers, no light blue mobs, etc. ... no matter how un-fun ("retarded") you or anyone else might think they are. Just bringing back buff timers would likely have the support of 95+% of the server ... but it wouldn't be classic and thus will never happen.
Now I can already hear you saying, "that's a ton of B.S. because ____ isn't classic". And you'd be right: Project 1999 is not complete yet. Until it is, the devs are going to keep working on it to make it as classic as possible, and they're not just going to ignore not-classic-thing A because they haven't yet fixed non-classic thing B.
Once you grok all that it should be much easier to understand why your arguments hold no water: the people who matter don't care about making the game "fun", they only care about making it classic ... and while the ultimate decision on mana caps is their's to make, Rygar has certainly presented a wealth of evidence that they are in fact classic.
