Yeah those problems were fixed at a later date, in later expansions, and the game fucking sucked then because of it.

Nope, those changes were beneficial ones. The game sucked for a multitude of other reasons. And I'm not entirely sure, I'll have to look it up later, but I believe buffing lower level characters might have actually been nerfed in the classic era (at least for certain spells).

People rolling alts is good for the games population, not everyone wants to start from scratch every time they want an alt.

You don't have to start from scratch, you can fully equip your new characters with LEVEL APPROPRIATE gear. When characters become twinked beyond that point, though, it detracts from the game experience of newer players (or people who do want to work through the lower level content because they enjoy it) because then you just have a few low-bies running around killing everything in Crushbone. This not only makes it frustrating for other people to level but also removes the social component of the game and the component working/fighting together.

Twinking keeps the economy flowing. People constantly reroll and remake, which is why theres over 100+ people in EC tunnels daily.

Terrible argument and the exact opposite of reality.
If people weren't allowed to twink so heavily they would still be in EC buying equipment for their characters, it would just be lower level equipment. They would in fact be in EC
more frequently because they would have to continually upgrade their equipment as their character levels, which means that people would be able to sell all kinds of equipment that simply gets passed over right now. And since people would have to use level-appropriate gear, it means that gear created by tradeskills would actually be worth selling.

Item levels are a horrible idea.

Items already have level requirements to use many of their properties. There is also a damage cap on weapons before level 20. The idea I'm talking about is already in place within the game, it just needs to be expanded.
