I know it was around one of those later expansions that won't be seen on here as far as the buff nerfs. All i know is i remember them always working prior. Regardless certain spell durations should be fixed as well as the other blatant non-classic features if these are going to make their way in.

This isn't true -- I played a cleric on live, never played past kunark (didn't even make it to Velious release) and I very distinctly remember having to use group heroic bond if I wanted to cast heroism on a low level. But don't take my word for it -- obviously what we remember is suspect. People post all sorts of totally wrong crap theyre "sure" of that is disproven by evidence others dig up. Head on over to the bugs forum, read the post concerning this, and then if you still strongly disagree with all the posted evidence located there, find some proof you're right and post it. Now my guess is you're not totally wrong -- EQ probably continued to make changes regarding this throughout it's timeline. You're likely remembering one of these later changes.
As to your second point, I agree totally. They should be consistent, and in most cases, if you can dig up some real evidence they'll make the change as they have time to, when the appropriate developer has some free cycles. Some obvious big exceptions out there (variance for example, F that BS). The only caveat is, I understand that this is a volunteer project with very limited resources. Many of these changes now being made ideally would have been made a long time ago, but that's not how things works on a volunteer driven project. Some of the issues you are referencing will undoubtedly get changed eventually, and some won't. Instead of complaining about the fact that everything isn't perfect right now, maybe relax, enjoy the server, and be happy Kanras has dedicated some of his own, unpaid time to fix some major nonclassic issues that plague the server, even if they might make your life harder in game.
