If a lioness is not low level I do not know what is. And if that is the case and that is the best info we have, then there are a lot of spawns which should be taken off the list. Plus, where did the 78 second rule come from and why is that one QM?

If he cannot remember exactly, and there is really no other proof of anything from classic, then it should just have been left alone instead of some frankenstein project.
Since there's no hard documentation and even the original dev can't say with certainty, the next best thing is to emulate the average memory of most players, which is that quillmane was rare af. There were zero guilds during classic selling lev cloak loot rights or requiring every melee raider to have a lev cloak.

It's not like people didn't understand what a rare spawn was back then. People knew what placeholders and named mobs were. Yet there weren't a billion lev cloaks on every server.

The problem is that it should never been changed mid server life
