So, really this all boils down to the current HC team deciding what they wanted to do and they did it.
Per their posts, it won't change, they are convinced they are doing the the right thing.
Welcome to the world of rogue servers where amateur implementations take simple things players love and turn them into convoluted messes and call it progress.
IMO, the HC team does some great work.
The teleportation re-vamp is not, IMO.
A bad plan is bad plan even if it's implemented with love.
But since HC has decided they are in control, then we all just have to follow along like good lemmings, it would seem.
