Priority generally is broken down 2 fold: Difficulty & aspect.

If something is difficult but will change an aspect of the game to be more like classic for a broader set of players it would be addressed with a higher level of priority. (This is the AC & XP Changes).

Something that is difficult that effects the aspect of the game for 1 small section of people would take a back seat. (That's where this falls).

Something that is easy that effects the aspect of the game for a large number of people would get top priority. (These are low hanging fruit and VERY rare).

Something that is easy that effects the aspect of the game for a few or small section of people will generally get worked as time/inclination allow. (These are common, me removing Rigg Nostra for example. He was pointless and non-classic).
This is great and everything the problem lies in the fact that some "negative" aspects are easier to fix then some "positive" aspects. The problem further lies in these "positive" aspects get patched out eventually...ie sword of runes proc and kunark. This makes it so that the game is skewed towards the negative without compensating for the "bugs" or "positives" in the game.

People getting banned for "abusing" pathing is an example. People who figure out how to use pathing to their advantage are not exploiting....they're merely figuring out the physics to use to their advantage. People did this all the time in classic and didn't get banned.


I think your definition of what is classic is different from the actual classic experience. I don't like how things are "tweaked" to be more classic....but aren't done in the proper timeline because of the time it takes to tweak them. It totally throws off the classic experience.


If I don't see proccing sword of runes on all mobs before kunark I'm going to be very disappointed.
