Note that "good" is a relative term...not every class can be the best at something. Wizards can do okay in a lot of standard experience groups, just a lot of other classes are better in any given group situation.

A class without heals, buffs or tanking ability should be as good as any other class at doing damage. Otherwise you might as well roll a druid. And most people do.

This is much less true if on a server that is relatively young and low levels don't have access to great gear. I'd imagine that wizards were not turned away from exp groups in the early days of p99, although many were probably doing much better solo so they didn't group? I was not around so I can only guess. A choice between adding a rogue or a wizard was probably much harder back then.

Obviously starting on a new server isn't an option on P99...the damage has already been done.

Like I said before, there are many other situations besides your traditional exp group where wizard is one of, if not the ideal class, so complaining about them not being so great in one situation is rather silly in my opinion.

Many other situations? Apart from once in a blue moon AE groups and dragging mobs around a secluded zone every 10 minutes, I really can't think of "many" situations.
I play an enchanter and a shaman now and I enjoy what they do but I really would like to see magic go back to being something that people seek out for reasons other than to heal and buff twinked melees. I respect that the P99 devs have stuck with the original warts-and-all Vision, it's just a shame Verant didn't get it right back in the day.
