The whole "they just pick and choose classic things so why not this" argument is really annoying. They literally can not change certain things because they simply don't have the means. It's not as if all of the code for the entire game is just in some EQCODE.TXT file and they can change literally anything they want. If that were the case, we would not have starry sky graphics and those weird gigantic boats. I also don't think they have the ability to make the client disallow custom UI's, so that's why they're "allowed". How would they ever detect them?
This whole thing is a ton of work for the devs, and they've provided *as close* to a classic experience as they have the means to. I personally don't like the idea of other people running around seeing luclin models for everything. Yes it's petty and selfish, but little things like that dilute the classic experience. In classic, I didn't have the concern that group member A and group member B are seeing completely different versions of my character.
