More importantly, the devs state before this paragraph that pulling massive groups of mobs to kill wasn't intended.
You mean the same devs who put a bunch of abilities into the game that had no cap on the number of NPCs they could affect? The same devs who never decided to patch in a cap on those spells?

They might not have thought of doing it before the players figured it out, but you can't seriously believe they didn't like seeing shit like that happen. A huge part of what made EQ awesome was that players were given a huge variety of classes and abilities and set loose in a game world to see what they could do with them. If you want every creative method of playing the game to be killed off, then go play a modern MMO.

EQ devs said they didn't intend for kiting (wtf else is someone going to use a snare spell for?) or splitting mobs with FD or a bunch of other stuff, too. And they took that shit out in EQ2, and EQ2 sucked.
