@Raninia Regarding the new Legendary Servers

[Hephburz-2]

I totally hear you, and I wish it wasn't the way it is. Unfortunately, these tweaks aren't small and would require a lot of work, including probably engineering, which is perhaps where we're most stretched currently.

I get that you folks want a more balanced experience throughout the Legendary Servers, especially around caps - unfortunately, a lot of decisions that were made years ago, which made sense at the time, were made without necessarily appreciating a lot of the long term impacts, which come up in situations like this. To be fair to them, they probably never really anticipated the game would be around as long as it has. But those choices mean that a lot of this work is expensive and time-consuming, and while valuable, doesn't rise to the level of value of other things we have in the pipe at the moment.

You realise that without these changes then treebeard and Shadowfax will probably go the same way that Ithil and Anor have, and activity will significantly drop over time once the initial wow factor has dissipated.

Edit: Furthermore these changes were asked for when the FIRST two Legendary Servers were released some, 2+ years ago now? Because ultimately, this:
