I haven't felt that way in a long time

Well i played in that era, and it isn't.

I personally don't obsess about classic or not classic so I'm not supporting an argument in opposition to the ToV change BUT, I see this posted a lot and I'm not sure I agree that it matters. The goal is (or was) for the server content to be as classic as possible, not for the tactics that players use be as identical as possible. Players try out new strategies all the time, and our knowledge base is far deeper and far more shared than it ever was in-era. Since we're locked in Velious as our end game, the same things have been experimented on and analyzed for years and years.

Having said that, with the earlier changes that poster mentioned, as well as this recent change to ToV and the discussions between staff regarding how to deal with ToV (including instances being on the table) I think arguing about what is and isn't "classic" has become irrelevant. That's not to say I lust for custom content, just that the powers that be have placed 'Health of the Server' over 'Strict adherence to classic'.

Overall it's a good change. Crawling forces classes to use all of their abilities, constantly, rather than 75 people waiting for 5 people to do an absurd pull using a level 20 orc's mystical totem. It's more interesting for everyone. Also it gives access to flurry loot and kael armor which was severely under-appreciated. But there still needs to be some more tweaks worked out like spawn rates and number of drops.

And you're saying he sounds like someone who wants welfare pixels. Maybe it's just because I raided with him for a long time and that's why I see how laughable that response to his post is.

Anyways

That's nice - his post still sounds whiny. Woe is me, can't pull dragons to entrance and trivialize the whole thing anymore.

What a very special time for me.
What a lady, what a night.

...then, inexplicably, the Slow on Vulak wears off...

While they're no doubt scouring logs searching for a potential wayward dispell (and should be, such hijinks should not be tolerated), there's also a real possibility that someone slowed using the wrong slow. It's easy enough to do since they usually give the same message when landing or fading. In some cases the difference in slow % might not be immediately apparent, but the shorter duration of something like Turgur versus Togor could explain slow wearing off unexpectedly.

With several hundred players in temple veeshan last evening much of the rest of the game was more open than usual. Was a nice time to be out in norrath.

There is this game I used to play a long time ago called Space Cowboy Online that mother ships often had fights 300+ people.

I cant agree with the original post more. Last night was a great night to raid and be together as a server. What was dropped little compared with the positive energy and comradery that was experienced working together. There was mutual respect on all parties even dare I say AM.
