Thoughts as pretty permanent noob(currently doing t3/4 for my second group now, getting close to my 3rd UC1, making my way through content at about the speed its released), just to have that perspective on the class ideas:

There are some cure problems you run into especially going into pod that could become a much larger problem for new players.   Most noticably are the poisons in POD.  Those can get pretty spammy at times and wipe even relatively well cazic geared teams until you know what's going on.  While it's easily solved by using a paladin currently, and most groups have one by then, without cure spam that will get a lot uglier.  If cleric becomes the only class that can reasonably handle AOE cures without instant group cure, I can see it being a huge turn off for newer players that suddenly have to be single target curing the whole fight.

That being said, it's not a deal breaker and a part of the server is learning to handle limitations when they're thrown in your face.  Mostly what I'm suggesting is that may be worth evaluating how often trash spams those effects when players lose the spam counter to it.  I know that until I got the resist to ignore it, it was a serious pita to be constantly curing around my second party that didn't have the paladin or rezzing like half the dps as they died every other fight to it.

Pretty sure AGES ago it DID show on MySEQ, but SOE changed how that is works.

That would explain it then, as I only played on live ages ago.

MySeq can show loot on mobs, or could when it was on live.  I never bothered using it, but had buddies on live that would just zone into various lower level raids looking for worthwhile gear to sell that they could solo or get a group to take out.

In particular I doubt management will be particularly open to people being able to do this, though they may take the MQ2 stance and just take action against things that aren't allowed  using it.  I'm not sure.

Be aware that zone entrance guards will agro you if you hit them with composition, as with any hostile pbaoe.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.  I'm happy to see that I'm not a derp and the lookup doesn't reveal any of my gmail addresses.  Yay for refusing to use those login/pw anywhere else ever.

Hopefully everyone on the server is not on the list.

Oh also qvic requires the tokens to get past it.  You might just be hung up on the tokens for that part. It's a task now and you might just need to repeat it at worst.

As someone who came back recently myself, if you have MQ installed the lore notes at the bottom of the item should say where it came from.   My tacvi armor automatically said it was Cazic Thule armor in the notes.   Also other than my weapon turning into a 3.5 aug from a 4.0 book, (which was easily replaced by a nice adventurer) I've had no problems with pretending my weapons were augs so far. flags for pod are to have the tokens from qvic and flags for hoh is T2 chest.  Neither of which have had any problems on my 3.0 characters.

Bbiggest changes are all covered in the EZ guide for the most part, and asking in game has gotten wonderfully helpful results, just make sure you investigate until you're absolutely sure it's something you can't look up on the forums.  That avoids most of the being annoying problems.
