First off, let me just say I <3 the fact that that Hyjal organizes open raids, and I'm not trying to pick on him. I also am no fan of monopoly guilds, and I have no specific personal opinion on rooted dragons. But I do have one strongly held belief: the devs should "make the game like it was in 1999-2001".
And that's the crux of the issue: we all know no one was fighting dragons at the zone line in 2001, so no solution that involves "let's go back to unclassically fighting dragons at the zone line" is ever going to fly here. The devs are as likely to reverse it as they are to un-nerf the wands or remove the 25 mob AoE limit.
Whether you're a noob begging for mounts and moon cats, or a seasoned vet whining about about the golden days of P99 raiding, if you're not "for classic" your against what this place is about ... and at least the noobs have the excuse that they don't know better. Every seasoned raider has been here way too long to not see the giant words "Classic EverQuest" in the upper-left corner.
But look, that doesn't mean you have to just accept rooted dragons either! All I'm saying is, if you want to crap on them, then propose something better ... and just going back to unrooted dragons is not better! We all know it will result in unclassic fighting of dragons at zone line, and then we're not playing the same game that people played back in 2001.
If you want to see rooted dragons gone, propose a more classic solution! Don't just complain.
