Actually you're wrong on both halves of that coin. People are leaving because of the xp rate. People won't commit because of the xp rate. Your personal experience is not universal, or even the majority in this case. If you think otherwise, you are out of touch with the playerbase on the whole (not just your circle of friends).

OK but what are we trying to do here? Recreate and preserve the harsh world of EQ red, or chase those sub numbers that started EQ down that long road to mercenaries and instances?

A few of your latest posts have that "lets compromise to boost subs/players" ring to it that I guess was a nessessary evil for games like EQ2 and Vanguard, but why here?

So the grind is hard, its not for everyone, we've lost players on account of it. Ok, lets put corpse runs to a vote too like Vulak and Fippy did , in the name of keeping population up?

What is the argument here? The classic xp grind on a classic server is too hard for most players? We knew this. Is making xp faster really on the table? Please say that is not so. Faster xp for the blue server too?
