Not even close to era accurate

Please stop advertising as era accurate, and rather advertise as a shard for "era accurate mechanics for hally tank mages to pvp eachother and exploit bugs to gank new players who thought it was a place to experience the good old days".
What an absolutely disgusting playerbase. Perhaps I've gotten the shit end of the stick, but I have yet to find a player that isn't a "leet hally mage lolz rofl gank u lose for not playing the same template as 99.9% of the shard". And I don't even PVP nor do I care to.
When I played in 1999 anyone GM or near it would roleplay their character to extensive lengths. Sure there were hally tank mages when people discovered insta hit mechanics, but they didn't have endless stockpiles of purple pots and vanq weps after years of hoarding.
Another inaccurate part of this shard is the harassment report. In 1999 you could report players exploiting game mechanics to repeatedly kill new players (or any players rather). Sure the bugs you have implemented are era accurate, but they weren't completely tolerated and a lot of them were quickly patched.
I'm not even talking about razor macros, because everyone used 3rd party software in some way for macro support. I could care less about unattended macroing, though this does in a way support people to bring their scripts, build up the standard tank mage, and start ganking without actually ever playing the game.
At the end of a month playing here all I can say is this shard is only played by people who have memorized game mechanics or "bugs" (as 1999 devs would call them) to throw purple pots at eachother until they invis recall, and in the mean time gank anyone who dares start a new player in a conventional sense.
I may be called "weak" for not enduring this torture, but to be honest I'm not interested in playing the game like that. I wanted to come back and role play my old characters into GM status. I wanted the rush of a good gank on the field, a good thief in town to hunt, not being the victim of repeated exploits and harassment without a person to stop it. It's been nearly impossible to progress in a conventional sense. I find myself hiding in my house to train my characters which is insanely boring.
Please for the sake of future adventurers such as myself, either implement a harassment report for players repeatedly exploiting bugs to kill new players, or consider advertising as a "1999 game mechanics pvp shard".
