These "Classic above all else" people really like to cherry pick what constitutes what where, and talk about original developer intention, which usually doesn't involve people being as shitty as possible to each other.
Fundamentally it doesn't actually bear weight as a proven article.
It's an idea, and ideas are fluid, though I agree there should be limitations.
If we really want to talk about "developer intentions" we could probably all agree that not only was there no script for the Sleeper coming back, they never needed one because that gear was trash garbage about a year and a half later, and the original dev's were wildly erratic with what they ever decided needed to be focused on.
A year ago on Live (or was it two?) they went back and fixed old Kunark-era quests that no one could ever possibly want to do...but would make sense on p99, and be very Classic indeed, because that was their intention.
