EQ is masochistic in many ways. This is just one of them.

The devs didn't come up with these ideas, the creators of the game did. The server is attempting to mimic what happened on live, be it bad or good. That's the goal.

Don't think of it as something that is being done to make people happy. Think of it as an art project, a scale model. The goal is to replicate the original.

If you're make a scale replica of the Statue of Liberty you are probably going use the same materials. It doesn't matter if you know that the metal will eventually turn green due to oxidation. You are trying to be accurate to the source material. (not my best analogy, but you get what I'm saying)
