I'm kinda curious about this too. I know that some details of quests and their multi-questability were off in the past, because of P99/emulator bugs, so that could be the case here ... but I doubt it.

For one thing, I think the staff already fixed all those issues. But for another ... the way it works now makes more work for the staff. If they could not have that work AND make things more classic, they would have done so a long time ago. The fact that they didn't that implies that it was a Verant choice P99 is stuck with ... and one could apply the same logic to Hadden since he too is a frequent source of work for the staff.

But I agree it's weird that mobs in one part of the world play by different core rules than mobs elsewhere; that seems more P99-ish than Verant to me.
