All mobs dying within 2 mins of spawning like they do here is extremely unclassic for era.

Yeah I raided in PoP and it was absolutely nothing like p99. I'd come home and log on, by 6pm est we'd be sending out rangers to check what mobs were up, by 6:30pm we'd pick a target and start raiding, then we'd call it quits around 10 or 11. There was no such thing as 3am batphones or rushing to kill targets in the middle of the day while everyone was at work. CotH ducking? Never heard of it til p99.

There's a multitude of reasons that all add together to create the raid scene we have in p99 today, but it's kind of crazy how quickly the devs and community dismiss the idea of trying to actually address the current reality of the raid scene in the name of being 'classic'. Today's raid scene is anything but classic. It's downright degenerate. I'm sure it could be worse but it could be a whole lot better too.
