Thanks for the research on the mage pet issue. I had to dredge that up from a looong while back. I think I will agree with the notion that the EQ staff went out of their way to not bald-face lie to their players, but the pet issue was one of those rare ones when the players were informed that they were wrong multiple times and the screenshot proof had to be handed off before they were even listened to.
At the time, it fostered some bad feelings from magicians not so much that the situation existed, but how their concerns and words were being treated by the company. Hence the nickname Absor picked up from it. I'm kind of sad that the topic of the post has been lost in this shuffle. I think it was over raiding, classic 'features', and not-so-clever use of them reducing intended encounter challenge? Our current players aren't wrong to voice some opinions for the hope of changes being made to the next server. No one wants a Chardok PL consumer service yet again.
