Always the same comments from you. It's getting old, as is this thread. Last post from here on out. Anyone else wants to contribute something worth reading, go for it.

There's no need for the antagonism dude. Just pointing that the "evidence" you posted is insufficient to make the changes you want. Major game mechanics changes like the max cap on hate for bard songs requires substantially accurate evidence before any changes should be made. Anything you posted up to this point has been inconsistent and/or vague and unclear. It might be considered more reliable if someone had actually posted some actually parsing data to prove what the actual hate numbers were at that time and then what they became after a certain point, but you haven't seemed to have found that.

This is the only patch notes I could find that even remotely resembles anything relates to bard mechanics at all during the 2004-2005 time period:

"AUGUST 13, 2004
Patch:
This short update will correct a couple of issues with Bard functionality and resolve a stability problem.

Thanks for your patience."

"SEPTEMBER 14, 2004
Bard PBAoE spells will no longer damage targets that are moving, however any other spell effects from the PBAoE spell will still be applied to the targets as usual."

"JANUARY 26, 2005
Bard Chants should once again generate the correct amount of hate."

- https://everquest.allakhazam.com/his...es-2005-1.html

Of these 3 that I could find, only the last one says anything about a change in bard song hate. The way it's worded also suggest that It was broken at some point by some patch, most likely a very recent patch relative to this time period.
