Why did original devs make monks so broken in Velious?

Can almost tank like a knight, dps like a rogue, access to master race, hmm... Let's give em triple attack too
Velious was released in December, 2000. Back then, most people were running around Norrath butt naked, with barely any gear, barely any knowledge of the game, and on computers with 14" CRT monitors topping at 5 FPS on a good day.

The game didn't yet go through the massive amounts of neckbeardery and gear farming that you can see on P99. I don't think monks seemed broken/OP to anybody back then.
