Probably the best answer but not #classic

Neither is the AE mob limit, or rooted ToV dragons. But things like this are done when the player behavior is creating a far less classic experience than the changes designed to address the problem behaviors.
I highly doubt there were fifty hour wait lists for the EE in LGuK on week three of vanilla EQ. Player made wait lists certainly never required a manual afk check every five to fifteen minutes, you just got a tell when it was your turn to join camp and you had to be in the XP group regardless.
In retrospect, IMO, removing the items that artificially create this insane reaction from the players was the lesser of all evils. I've felt this way, and have mentioned so a few times, basically since green was officially announced.
I do however understand why the decision would feel bad and why they highly preferred to keep these things as part of the timeline. If nothing else it would have created slippery slope feelings like "then why is this hybrid penalty bullshit still in game" for example. But sometimes you just have to draw a line, and its been done due to player behavior in P99 before.
