Default Backpacks Dropping Off Newbie Trash

While gearing up with the finest in newbie apparel on this server I've noticed a lot of backpacks dropping off the humanoid monsters in a few of the newbie zones (Greater Faydark, Steamfont Mountains, Butcherblock Mountains, East Free Port). While this definitely improves the game for someone just trying to make their way in a harsh world, the only thing these monsters dropped so consistently in classic were newbies. The backpacks weren't implemented into the drop list for four or five years post launch, at least at the high rate they drop on this server.

This definitely isn't game breaking and actually makes newbie life a little less difficult on the server, I just wanted to point it out as one of those "This wasn't in classic" points.

Also, I wasn't sure if loot table issues went under game mechanics or NPC spawn issues :/
