But did most players even know MQing was a thing in classic? Absolutely not! Look, I don't think the majority even read sites like Allakhazam: I think most saw them as the equivalent of reading the cheat guide (remember the entire idea of a MMOG was completely new; most weren't MUD players).

Like so many things here, it just boils down to re-creating classic mechanics vs. trying to actually recreate the game from '99-'01, and the P99 folks have all but given up on the latter.

Again, your opinion doesn't matter unless you can back it up with evidence. The only evidence we have is that people were clearly MQing in the classic era. As a result, MQs remain unchanged. If you believe it's so completely obvious that the vast majority of people didn't know how to MQ then surely there should be evidence out there to back it up.

Also, LOL you don't think most people knew and read Allakhazam and sites like that once they came out? Now I can't take any of your arguments seriously because this is just so incorrect haha...no one viewed those sites as "cheating"
