Hard to say. Maybe back then not everyone would blow their load on a mob as soon as it was pulled and let the warrior get agro. I'm sure those people existed but you would quickly identify them as baddies and distance yourself from them. Also, when you created a rogue they didn't spawn in their starting city with a Ragebringer, as they do here.
The Epic procs 100DD and then the agro DoT. The dot lasts about 2 minutes i think? I seldom see the message that is has wore off, but I have. Anyways, that means you just did 100 agro to a mob, with x per tick. You are easily going to be surpassed by an enchanter that instant tashes, or a shaman that instant slows. It's irritating and happens every time, which is why I use VP weapons. With the VP snap agro, you do it all at once (579), and it can compete with this fast paced game were trying to force upon eq, that we have probably learned from WoW or whatever else.
