Many things like the OT hammer, WC cap, or various raid techniques were not commonly seen on live ... but the rules for them had always been there. This leaves emulators with a lose/lose proposition: if they don't include that stuff, then the server's rules won't be classic. However, if they do include it, the server's environment won't be classic.

Someday (years from now) Green will come, and it will be a lot more classic ... but OT hammers and other non-classic environment features will still be there (they'll probably just cost more). Rogen/Nilbog had to choose either classic rules or classic environment: they couldn't choose both, so they went with classic rules.
Prior game knowledge and experience in the player base makes alot of things not as they where on classic servers

Take the raid scene for example...
