Some REAL nonclassic features of p99 that hurt the server: spawn variance (regular or extended) and the rules in VP (training wasn't condoned or encouraged by live CSR, it was in fact enforced as griefing/zone disruption and a bannable/suspendable offense) which certain people are pushing to.get applied to ToV/ST in velious.

Training was never tolerated by live CSR staff, yet it goes on here everyday. I can't speak for the validity of epic MQs being classic or not but it is super lame, not as lame as GM sanctioned training between raiding guilds or extended variance. Atleast epic mqs give folks who aren't into raiding.thr.option of acquiring their epics, where as training in VP is simply a griefing tactic used to stall/prevent guilds from engaging dragons.

I mean just the other day I'm in VP tracking a dragon and 4 TMO members spent ovet an.hour glitching their pets around the zone in order to proc wurm AE's on me while I tracked. There was no reason for it nor did it do anything but force me to log out for 5 minutes. Just an example of more non-classic features on p99, but apparently only one group of players on the server are allowed to push for rule changes. This was made plenty evident from the past when other guilds employed TMO's own tactics against them in VP only to be told less than 24 hours later by a GM it wasn't allowed anymore since we were able to avoid TMO trains and pull dragons at free will using their own tactics they'd been using for over 2 years against them.

The main issue seems to be that the people who benefit most from these nonclassic features are the ones who push hardest to keep them on p99. I mean you gotta provide proof of something being nonclassic usually before anything is changed, except there is plenty of evidence that training wasn't allowed ever and variance never existed in the way p99 has implemented; yet those policies remain in place for whatever reason. Too bad too, VP would have been insanely more fun through kunark without dumbass training. I guess the people pushing for it to remain are just bad players who can't engage/kill dragons without training all competition first!

Just really sucks that such minor nonclassic additions ruin p99 for so many of us though! I mean I love it here and appreciate everything the staff has done just wish there was more consistency when it comes to classic vs nonclassic rule&policy implementation. Especially when it continually benefits the same group of players over and over despite said group's blatant history of asshattery, rule breaking, cheating, and abuse towards the server's players. I know ill probably get flamed for how true this post is but whatever just take it how you will; most of the players here know already anyway!

you are a fucktard
