The ups & downs are part of the classic ride. Why would you want Velious-era rogue damage formulas to apply when the level cap is 50? That just doesn't make sense, nor does it respect the mission of recreating vanilla-through-Velious Everquest.

Without changes the server will quickly stangnate, and the only set of changes that can be agreed upon as objective changes are the ones that were made by Verant/Sony. When we start accepting deviations from that in the name of "improving" things, it can become impossible to separate what's actually a change for the better and what's just appeasement for the loudest whiners.
