So mobs like Dain, KT, Yeli and WToV dragons would be up for many hours, or even a day or two sometimes.

Given how different the dynamics of this server's raid scene are as compared to live, I actually think changing the mob to turn in these quests to would make the server more akin to the way things were during classic. It would be similar in spirit to rooting the dragons, or reducing the numbers of mobs a bard can kite, etc. to recreate the feel of classic EQ.
Dead wrong, I remember having to sock these hand ins back on live. Sure a change would be a quality of life improvement for everyone, but it's never gonna happen
