I don't think you'll find many people that would say "I'm playing green because there are only 6 hotbar buttons." But, the efforts to recreate classic involve hundreds of such changes, and all together do create a more classic feel. Some changes are less popular than others, but where to draw the line? I think " as classic as possible" is a good goal.

At my age I wouldn't mind dulling some of the most painful points.
With that said how many cuts do you allow before it becomes a hot mess?

You have to draw the line somewhere and maintain the concept of what P99 is trying to do, which has always been to mimic...1999, not 2003 or later. The magic of this flawed and antiquated game has an intangible quality that's greater than the sum of its parts. You start modifying too many things and you screw up the recipe.
This has been by far the most successful attempt to recreate Everquest in every way so far. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt to make the right decisions, even if removing some stuff we became accustomed to is an inconvenience or annoyance.
