I know for a fact, Triton from Povar , was AEing shit before Luclin. There is even old pictures of them posted up AEing over 60+ mobs in end-game zones around luclin release. It is more of common knowledge now, which is why it is bigger on P99. The only people doing it back in the 99-2003 days were top guilds. Monks and different classes can do the AE pulls, so the /petattack command, even though isn't classic, it can still be done without one.

No one is saying aoe wasn't a thing. It was, but you could not pull 180+ mobs in Chardok unless you somehow could manage to pull them, walk them up to the entrance while they're beating on you and then aoe them.
Like it explains in the thread I linked, if you ran away and waited for the mobs to come they wouldn't come, because if you got too far ahead they'd go back to spawn point.
You definitely couldn't be at the entrance, with your pet down deep in Chardok and hit pet attack (because pets only followed commands if they were in /say range) and even if you could have given you were so far away the mob would kill your pet, realise you were much farther than it was willing to chase you and then it'd do nothing at all except add you to its hate list.
Has nothing to do with magical hindsight.
