Every time a poll is put up, which has happened a few times, the people wanting luclin or beyond win. Do some forum searching and you'll see.

~edit~

Majority of people in favor of resetting the sleeper.

Over 60% of people voted they'd be willing to donate for Luclin/Pop

Almost 54% of people voted for their favorite expansion as one that was beyond the current scope of the server.

These are just examples from a quick search of 5 pages searching the word "poll".

Exaggerate much? Go ahead and post some links of this so called luclin winning by a wide margin. Quick search of Luclin or Expansion tells me a different story.

Edit
After reading your edit and adding links, that is hardly luclin winning by a wide margin. More mixed bag of results.

The most active people on the forum are not the most active people in the game,

In any case play another server to go past velious, there are many.

A vanilla locked server would be great. We can dream

Kunark locked would be great, IMO. Level 60, just enough twinkage to stand out, and the epics are in play. Vanilla no expansions just doesn't have enough, IMO.

Vanilla is a lot more "beatable" no doubt about it. The best part about vanilla is the gear progression is all on point. Cloth and leather and ringmail and bronze all fit, and are all bettered by banded, which is bettered by the quested crafted lambent ivy etched armor, which is bested by planar.

All that goes out the window with kunark and the whole old world progression turns to vendor gear. Like, the short sword of ykesha is the best example of something that turns from top tier to junk tier overnight its just a bummer. 1 year is too short for vanilla.

unroot dwagons

Absolutely agree.

In addition, I like vanilla because there are 18 bind spots in and 16 different zones you can get group ports to. Vs kunark only 3 reasonable bind points and 3 group ports. And way less overpowered twink gear. Majority of best in slot gear is mostly no drop and requires a group or raid. In kunark, you want best in slot, you can just farm guards with your solo character, then turn around and buy best in slot gear for your alt.

Sorry you don't got best in slot (vp)

+1

Vanilla better have some cheap weapons that are better than 0.5 ratio...
