because I dont agree with a linear gain resist system. What we have now on our server gives greater gains in complete resist at lower gear levels, and at higher gear levels trades off complete resist gains for increase partial rate gains. This ensures that no matter how high you get your resists, you can still land spells that do some damage.
DoT spells work the way they do on our server because we dont change things in classic unless we need to for balance. Typically DoT heavy classes fair well, so no change in that area has been needed.
That is the short answer, but if you want go post a poll in our suggestions forum on our site and if enough people would rather see things the way you described them then I am willing to change it.
