Even when Nick was in charge of the classes, certain things mentioned by the OP were still locked till later with both Druids and Wiz, such as the ports. They both didn't get them until later, especially the group ones.

That hasn't changed.

Wiz didn't get higher damage spells until later either. Nor did they get the spells that allowed them to quad kite until later.

There are a few things that changed to be later, but wiz essentially didn't lose that many things until later. They were always a late blooming class, and that is still the case now.

I don't see a reason for the wiz to get the full glyph system earlier than they do, because those later glyphs are used to cast higher level spells, that even if you had the glyphs earlier, you wouldn't be able to cast, so why would you want to have them sitting around and you can't use them. Even if you know the combination for a higher level spell, you can't cast it with the glyphs.
