Can't speak to the proc thing, maybe it was something they didn't realize or it was an oversight that they fixed once they realized (these are unpaid volunteers who have lives and full time jobs, they can make mistakes and oversights; stop acting like they are fully paid developers and you're therefore somehow entitled to perfection).
The faster spawn rates were extremely temporary and are gone now. They were instituted around launch when we had hundreds upon hundreds of people in every newbie area and lowbie zone. Servers in 1999 didn't have as many people on day 1, so it's not really a valid argument to say "well it didn't happen at launch in 1999 so it shouldn't happen here." If they hadn't upped the spawn rates for an extremely temporary period of time I bet you would have been on these forums bitching and moaning about how you can't find any mobs to kill.
The quest turn ins the staff said the previous values were not classic and they changed them to reflect actual classic values. Personally, I don't remember them being as low as they are and I'd like to see the staff provide a source to back up the claim, but at the same time it's not fair to rant about it and call it a completely non-classic change unless you have evidence of your own to back it up.

On the proc thing, it didn't even start to till OCT 99 and then went a year plus (I believe) and I'm very aware this a side project but it takes longer to patch something then it does to post a 5 min break down of things changed. Especially in today's world of phones nobody can ever say I didn't have the time to post an update.
I was here on launch day and couldn't get mobs lol, but that's how it was at launch on the live starter servers. It was a crowded mess the first week. Only reason you really had mobs to kill then was because the server would crash-patch and then restart and not everybody would be on.
I'm telling you right now- no fucking way those quest were that low and you cant change something because you have the "correct numbers" and when somebody calls bullshit- not post the info you based the change on but instead ask for counter info. That's what liars do. If you had the correct answer you would just post it, that's it. Not continuing the conversation by being vague like when I catch my kids lying about something.
The whole thing feels like different people are in change since Green kicked off.
