What is up with snared speed?

The real question here is, who in this thread can provide evidence that what they are claiming is actually how it happened, or still happens, and how many are basing it off of memories from 13 years ago that could be falsified by time?

I play Live's Test server, the mobs here are indeed a little faster, but not near as much as everyone makes them out to be. Especially if the mob happens to be SoW'd. Fleeing/snared or not. And I can provide FRAPs evidence of this if need be. As for the "modern versus Classic" debate... I checked and did see a single patch note, from 1999 to 2012, that indicates mob flee speed, sow speed, snare speed, or any other form of runspeed, was universally changed. Logic dictates that it was the same way back then as it is now. EQMac would also be a good judge.

Until people can provide some sort of solid evidence stating otherwise. They won't change a thing. You can make all the posts/threads and complaints about "this is how I remember it" that you want.

I quadded spirocs in TD for about 5 days. I saw nothing out of the ordinary. Some mobs have faster runspeed than others. I don't enjoy this fact, but that does not mean I can use the "Classic" card to get it changed.
The plural of anecdote is not "Data".
