It sounds like you are more motivated by greed than an actual desire to see a classic change.

There are plenty of people in here refuting the bug report that are also motivated by reasons other than "classic."

I also notice that nearly all of your evidence is anecdotal not to mention from secondary and tertiary sources.

If you're going to post evidence, you better have proof from a primary source for the entire duration of the timeline since your asking for the staff to rebind a lot of players.
Shits classic. Deal with it.

Sometimes that is the only evidence available, since we do not have access to a perfect copy of the back-end code from 1999-2001 and the patch messages are also not always useful, since there are tons of classic changes there were never noted in the patch notes.

Dungeon binding was deemed unclassic in Kunark. The staff rebound people on Trak ledge and other locations. They also warned if people still had those bind locations that punishments would be handed out.

If we only used primary sources (original code, patch messages, packet sniffers, and developer letters), a lot of the server's classic content wouldn't be here.

I dont see proof that this was never classic, perhaps the bind restriction was implemented some time after launch during Velious.

Firepot bind was classic for a time and those were not reset.

If it was removed at some, then we should continue to examine when it was removed (that is if it was ever allowed in the first place) to prevent new binds after any potential restriction date as was implemented in Timorous Deep, while old binds remained.
