I find it cute how those that are able to Chardok AOE are those with cash to burn on it. Meaning they've been on the server for awhile, and are probably all about 'classic'...
...except for when it comes to them leveling alts, then instead of doing 'classic' leveling in 'classic' groups in 'classic' gear, they're all about Chardok AOE groups to level up their Rogue who is twinked + has its epic.
It boils down to the mindset of "I've been on this server long enough that I'll gladly disregard the 'classic' feel of P99 that brought me here if it means I can cut corners and bypass any content I'd like"

I agree with this...but, EQ to some people is all about bending the sand-box game to their will.
You come into the game with absolutely nothing. No gear. No abilities. Your first encounter will almost certainly be finding a lvl 1 snake in a newbie yard and hitting auto attack. EQ's challenge is the world setup or the sand-box (there is nothing "hard" about hitting auto attack). You do this for days and day of rl time...slowly gaining control of the world around you. Pushing deeper with more safety and confidence of success into the world. Over time, you expand that sphere to much of the world if you keep at it.
For some folks, the ultimate success in EQ is turning this stupidly absurd world upside down and taking control of it. Chardok AoE leveling is one way of doing that. From that perspective, I can see how alluring going practically afk and coming back to a lvl 60 char would be...all without cheating. Its a giant way of saying "Screw you EQ, I win!"
The RMT, zone disruption, exploiting, etc all are all out of bounds. These are a different problem though.
