I happen to agree with you, but not because of this argument.
The total number of shamans at lvl60 on p99 (not currently logged in) is greater than the number of 60 shamans on live servers in this era. So, there is something to be said about the skewed server population here affecting the demand for torpor. Like all other things on p99 players know how valuable this is for a shaman. The conditions on p99 def make Torpor harder to get your hands on here than on live during the same era.
I just happen to think that its a fair price and its more classic not to tinker with the drop rate than it is to make it more common. There are lots of things that fall into this category on p99, some of them make the game easier than it was on live...some of them make it harder. It is what it is, and I think the devs would do more harm than good if they tried to tune the knobs to make the server "feel" more classic.

This is at the heart of the question as to "what is Classic?". Is classic trying to reproduve the class distribution of 1999 or about trying to offer a realistic representation of what was like to play a class in 1999 or whether it should just be about creating the look and feel of the game in 1999.
My personal goal is the third of these, which P99 delivers. It looks like EQ 1999 and feels like EQ 1999. Delivering on that is enough for me, I don't need it to have the absolute skull numbing boredom of farming for hundreds of hours.
