Ya considering charm was completely unreliable on live compared to what people do here you are wrong again.

I'm not wrong at all. You need to stop posting about something you don't have experience with. Bards and Enchanters would VERY commonly solo by charming a guard and throwing it into a nearby guard, then finishing them off when they got low. Charming in this situation made it not very difficult to manage a break, as opposed to
continuously trying to charm something and keep it around like a Mage pet.
It's clear you didn't play pre-expansion EQ. Your stance on this issue is obviously born from the fact that you started playing later and people had already moved on from commonly killing city guards. If you had actually started earlier then you would be aware of how frequent it was.

"I started selling about 7 years ago. I started on my home server, amongst a few other sellers. At the time EQ was EQ, no expansions, fairly new, and you could sell 1,000 platinum for $500. I got into selling because of a GM at the time who I spoke to on occasion who was selling platinum and other items from places like mistmoore, guk, and solusek b. This was at a time a GM was an unpaid volunteer player, and the kinks hadn't been worked out as far as the EULA which forbid the buying and selling of intellectual property.
I killed guards in everfrost and sold the weapons to vendors and then bought items from players, or sold the platinum. That's the entirety of what I did to make that income."

Hahaha, also look at what Allakazam's Magical Realm says on May 11th 2000 as the "thought of the day":
Wouldn't it be nice to see one of the guards get promoted or something? "Where's Guard Valon?" "He's now Sergeant Valon, patrolling the city gate. And he's buffed up and looking for revenge on those people who have been kicking his butt all these years."
