I literally couldn't beat a skilled necro on my wizard in Kunark with functioning resists pre-lure of ice.
Take it up with Zyrino (Thrilla).

Which would validate my "necros were good 1-50, sucked post 50" comment.

SZ released during Velious, not classic. The original 3 servers were all pre-Kunark, with RZ being a thing even in beta I think. TZ lost item loot first, then VZ a bit later. If RZ ever lost the ability to loot items it was sometime after EQ was no longer EQ.
Item loot totally is classic, though there are probably better ways to implement it than how it was during classic.

Scars of Velious was released in 2000. Everquest launched in 1999. Velious is classic era. Tallon and Vallon Zek were launched in Kunark, both had item loot removed within 5 months of launch. Vallon Zek had a login survey question that was like 80% for removing item loot because the server turned into naked druidquest. Rallos Zek item loot was later, and the population on Rallos Zek was barely half of what VZ and TZ had combined while it still had item loot.
Item loot lasted less time than the hybrid exp penalty, caster staring at book to med, and humans having terrible vision at night.
