Any "clarity" on some of the major potential class changes on green?

They weren't useless. You just needed to research the damn pets. And research materials are still dropping at ridiculous rates on green. Not even close to classic.

Fake news.

Can't wait to research my lvl 49 pet that is OP as fuck. I'll gladly take missing my pets while leveling to fuck shit up endgame.

I know warriors didn't have low-hp berserker frenzy at launch. I started playing on the second day of release in 1999 as a warrior, and I distinctly remember a patch coming out some weeks\months? later that mentioned the addition of berserker frenzy and explained what it was in the patch notes. I'm googling like crazy trying to find specific evidence for it but nothing yet...

Proof of this not being the rate on classic?

The original login music was also not what it is currently (though many people might not remember this). To my memory the song at 58:20 in this video was the original logging in music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA3curH5KHw

Again trying to find evidence but it's probably impossible for this particular item.

The staff already knows if they turned down their rates. They clearly have not, and it's obvious to anyone. Maybe it would require a lot of work to change all the drop tables, or maybe it hasn't been a priority for them. Who knows? Maybe it will be an eleventh hour patch. Currently this is the old drop rate on blue.

They are supposed to be 1/3rd of the current drop rate until June 1999.

So what do we know about what the drop rate was before that? It says they boosted it 300%, but 300% from what exactly? I.e. how do we know what the specific drop rate should be on launch and whether it's not currently accurate?

I'm not saying you're definitely wrong. Just that saying something was increased later doesn't mean that the rate at which something is dropping now is incorrect.

Did you flunk math? If it's 300% higher now it was 1/3rd the current rate before.
