Alright, while trying to explain to a friend of mine exactly what had changed between 3.0 and 3.5, an oddity had presented itself to me in the Great Wurm Dragons between the two versions.

The Great Wurm Gold Dragon's Armor Class reduced by 3 between the two versions, yet it's challenge rating went up from 26 to 27. (The AC drop is the only difference I could find)

The only reason I can see that would casue this issue is that adventurers got weaker between the versions. (Yet somehow monster power level has generally gone up from what I can see between the versions, forgive me if my research is off, I didn't think too hard on it but the problem still bugs me.)

the dragons in 3.0 had ther CR's set a bit too low in most cases, 3.5's upping thier CR was supposed to fix that.
