Default Adopting Bard Epic changes from Live?

Some of the epics (and more specific here, Bard) are a factor of 10-20X harder to obtain than other classes mainly due to the fact they rely on heavily contested raid NPC's. In regards to the Bard epic, they introduced the following changes to "un block" players from obtaining their epics...

- In Kedge Keep, a harbinger of the seas can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Phinigel Autropos.
- In Dreadlands, a harbinger of frost can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Gorenaire.
- In Skyfire Mountains, a harbinger of flame can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Talendor.


How about it? While I don't normally don't cry over fairness, they changed this on Live for a reason. Some classes are basically handed their epics at 50 (and usually before), while others can never obtain them.

I can assure you that this will never happen here. It is, sadly, not classic. This server is not about what EQ should have been, it's about what it was.

Some things that are not classic are actually in the spirit of it. For example wizards are in a very sad state and should be given crits despite it was only done in SoL expansion. However we will never get this.

The npcs in question were added like a year ago and arent even classic in spirit. (Theyre essentially trash mobs that summon a raid)

I would veto the cleric epic changes in skyfire which is close to era. This proposal is laughably non classic

I'm a Ranger. I'll never see the thing that actually fixed the class more than anything else - EQ/AM3 AA's. It is what it is.
