Again, play TLP if you want instancing and easy shots at items. Non-instanced games are designed around scarcity. There isn't a problem with the current setup. The game is working as intended.
There will always be no lifer people in games, you can't fix that. The way most games dealt with it was instancing, but the charm of P99 is it is one of the few MMOs left without instancing. Seriously, go play literally every other MMO if you don't like non-instsancing. Trying to change P99 because you want it to be a different game is just selfish.
Its not unecessarily unclassic. You already gave the reason for it's necessity. Unlike live, where they had paid GMs, our staff is volunteer. We need a PnP that incentivises people to act like adults and solve their own problems before requiring a GM. The camp owner is the best bet at an impartial party when solving a dispute.

This is why normal people wont play this game, or leave shortly after starting. I've found that the majority, like 99% of the people that play Project 1999 are people who played back when they were young, and are trying to relive their youth, or people with no ability to pay for a subscription based game that play this in lieu of other free games. Normal people with responsibilities, even the ones who loved the game back then, skip it once they see the state of the game now. I think part of that is just the sheer difficulty of trying to get items, because money camps and raid items are consistently camped by the same guilds who are controlling the raid environment and economy. If you break that stranglehold then you allow everyone a piece of the pie, rather than the 3% of the server that can spend the time camping these locations.
