So that it's newbieproof and automates all of the file modification/editing shit. The goal would be less clicks and less steps to getting in and playing + some kind of standardized setup process for any of the eqemu servers.
Outside of redistributing an entire custom installation of Titanium (illegal) it would be easy enough to make a file version patcher .exe to modify all stock titanium files to what they need to be in one simple step. Something like that can modify the spell file, host file, eqgame.exe etc as needed. Typically it could also encompass changing files that have been modified to play on other emu servers as well, however it wouldn't be practical without an entire archive of old spell file versions etc. that said emu server released that might be lurking in someone's eq folder.

Again, it comes down to people trusting to run something like that, though. If a one-click-fix .exe to mod the stock titanium install to play on VZTZ L&L was something people wanted I'd gladly provide.
