I still don't see how this has any effect on the game itself?
To answer your question it is most definitely NOT classic to have that ability at the tip of your fingers. You know full well this has nothing to do with programs outside EQ, but gameplay and convenience features.

/outputfile inventory saves you time of course, but so do a bunch of other non-combat related mechanics. Where do you stop? I mentioned buff timers, that is convenience and helps you manage spell castng better. /autoinventory helps you forage easier and complete quests like bone chips in very rapid succession. Pet window gives you more buttons available for spell casting and pet commands.

Oh, and in classic you couldn't have more than 2 bags open at once. Imagine searching through your bags / bank / alt for an item that way. Bye bye guild Sky bank alt with a ton of items.

Best to keep it classic if you want to experience this game like it was in all its glory. I like these little nuances, it's nostalgic.
