Research has shown that in the beginning word drops were 3x more rare than later.

Enjoy this authentic classic experience.

Research has also shown mage pets didn't used to eat half the exp. "Classic experience" seems to be applied pretty one-sided against mages, a class that has nothing to look forward to in the future and so really doesn't need extra special nerfing in classic.

I see that as a round about way to simulate classic and counteract our knowledge of the game and mechanics.

I'm still waiting to see this mythical research showing there was a time when pets weren't eating 50% xp.

I want to see it. Please point me to it.

Everything I've read so far shows that the ShowEQ guys found pets were eating 50% of xp from the very first time they started looking at xp values in late 99 / early 2000.

Read the threads that you link when you spew them.

With all due respect, some of the evidence that shows pets weren't eating EXP, while may not necessarily be direct evidence, is equivalent to the level of proof that the staff has accepted for many other changes.

But you're one of those people who wants the harder parts of classic but wants to remove anything that could make it easier (which is fine, you're entitled to your opinion on the matter, but then you can't really use a "because classic" argument), so why bother engaging in a discussion with you.

"classic" seems to be applied one-sided to the "harder" side, although mages have taken more than their share, for sure.

Given a choice of a harder or easier "feature", it'll be the harder one. "because classic" if it's classic, "because, uhm, we think we know what was intended" if not. I wish they'd stop the charade.

Yeah it's kind of strange. There seem to be a couple select individuals here who are obsessed with applying what they deem to be the "classic experience" to other people and classes, even if they aren't playing those classes themselves. It's ironic though, because again, it's not actually 100% the classic experience, because those same people would be against applying the no pet EXP split that you mentioned; so essentially they're obsessed with ensuring that other people have the negative parts of classic launch inflicted upon the person's class, but not any part of classic that made things easier for that class.

Makes me wonder what those select individuals are like in the real world if they're so focused on making sure that things are as difficult and/or annoying as possible for other people when it has no effect on those select individuals.
