I would just like the game to be as close to classic as possible. The resist system that was in place over the past couple of weeks was not, as far as I know, identical to classic. I think what Null is aiming to do with these changes is just to test out some different stuff with resists, so that we can move closer to how the system worked in classic. Whatever gets put in place, we'll be able to tell which aspects of it move us further away from the classic feel, and which ones are more similar to true classic EQ pvp resist system. The problem areas (i.e. if roots/stuns are too difficult to full resist, or if partial resists are occurring too rarely/often) can be adjusted and re-tested.
We're still in beta here, and I don't think the guys behind this project really intend to bait the community into trying it by claiming it's classic mode, and then switch some non-classic resist system into the game. They're trying to achieve a classic server because they enjoyed classic, just like we did. Why would they want to deviate from that by implementing a reinterpretation of it? I don't think that they've been afflicted with the same mental disability that George Lucas has been suffering from lately (

At least, this is how I have interpreted Null's posts on the subject. If this is the case and they're looking to hone in on the classic resist formulas, then I think this needs to be addressed and clearly explicated in a new post for the sake of PR. With the servers being down, the hysteria behind this discussion is starting to get pretty intense. Clearly communicating the development goals to the players is really essential to keeping the community optimistic and excited for release.
All of that being said, I did vote for "classic" in this poll, because classic is what I want. But again, I think that's what Null and the other devs want. What they're implementing now is (I think, I hope) just for testing purposes, like performing a titration on the resist system.
TL;DR? See the following video:
