Yes: my "arbitrary standard" ... that Project 1999 should do its best to emulate classic EverQuest ... suggests that if any class (Bards, Enchanters, Shaman, whoever) is clearly working differently than how it was in 1999, it should be "nerfed" (in some sense, although really what we're talking about is just getting more accurate/classic mechanics here).

Except it's not CLEARLY working differently. That's the point. You're applying some arbitrary argument of because fewer people did it back then it must mean that things worked differently.
Way more people played Warriors back then because they didn't realize how much better SKs and Pallys were as group tanks, so that must mean Warriors are operating differently than on P99 right?
Way more people played Wizards back then because people didn't completely realize/appreciate how a high Wizard downtime meant overall DPS went down, thereby making Wizards not as valuable to a group, so that must mean that Wizards operated differently than on P99 where no one wants them in groups that much right?
There were fewer Iksar back then because people didn't truly realize how OP the regen and AC boost were for min/maxing certain classes, so that must mean Iksars operated differently right?
There were more Rogues back then because people didn't realize exactly how gear dependent they were, so Rogues must have operate differently than on P99 right?
There were fewer instances of Shamans tanking back then because people didn't realize that a Shammy in banded could operate as an efficient tank, so Shamans must've operated differently back then than on P99 right?
It's just such a ridiculous argument that I can't believe you've spent so much time and writing repeatedly trying to make it lol
