I also hope that between (active) staff and (intelligent) players that we currently have a clear understanding where respect lies, frustrations exist, and questions need to be answered.

Sirken is doing an exceptional job at keeping up with an overflowing petition queue on both servers, and playing his cards almost perfectly when giving respect and receiving it in return.

But he doesn't have the power to do it with help from people with the true power. No one's really complaining loudly about the issues that Sirken can fix. It is when issues go beyond his range of abilities, and for some time, that we get up in arms. Truly, he's doing an amazing job with his finite ability.

Regarding his power and what he's done thus far...I'm not one of the people clapping and jumping up and down for the AoNs being handed out. However, at the same time, I am the loudest voice of timeline/classic-integrity-damaging quest items being allowed to remain in game. Loot should be earned, and fairly upon the time line. That's the entirety of the whole "legit" "classic" label on the server and why I play that, and not hack box 2.0. Unfortunately, we've reached the too late point for this.

The XP bonus was very intentionally stated to be in place to offset the faster xp gain. Then it is removed without mention and somewhat coincidentally.

Again, sir, "why?". Can the 70 or so non-Nihilum / hardcore otherwise EQ players here just hear "it was removed unintentionally"? Or was it removed intentionally and you don't want to see an exodus? What's happening? My gut tells me this is unintentional but I can hardly hear it over the sound of the tin foil these days.
