While I appreciate the spirit of trying to make things more difficult in ToV, the mechanics that were implemented in this patch are heavy handed and ridiculously un-classic. All end-game content gets perfected and/or trivialized over time on TLP servers. It's the nature of the time-lock.
Randomly introducing perma-rooted dragons that summon at 100% after several years of guilds farming the zone with classic mechanics is a pretty lame solution to a non-existent problem. The mechanics of the zone were classic as they were. If we're going to throw the baby out with the bath water, let's see some warder loot and clicky mounts.

But it's not non-existent. It plagues the server. I agree, however, with the rest of your post. The biggest problems are the increasingly veteran players, mudflation (top-heaviness included) and the builtin problems from the start. The other issue is it mirrors the patches on live accurately, meaning it inherits everything--good and bad.
My opinion is we won't see real change and real magic without new, fresh MMORPGs. Things like Saga of Lucimia are what we need. Many of them. Not just a couple. However, if a couple is all we get then we have to appreciate it. There's a lot going on. So many choices to be made, and struggles to endure.
Evenso, I'm glad Project 1999 is here. They did a phenomenal job, and continue to do what they think is best. They deserve many thanks. I mean that honestly.
