Remind me, because I'm about to pass out after researching all night, how classic charming worked? You had to do 51% of the damage before charm released, keep your charm until the target died, or your charm had to die in order to get exp?
IIRC you couldn't send a charm pet against a mob, let them both get to 10% break charm and kill them both for exp because once charm broke the server saw that the target did >51% to your charm and the charm (now NPC) did >51% to the target so you wouldn't get exp for either kill without a mem blur or recharm?
I feel like I'm over-stating it, but there is a distinct difference from current p99 charm and classic isn't there? For instance bear pits was never possible in classic for druid because the NPCs would eat all your exp as they did all the damage.
Will research this further when I wake up later, but any help clarifying is welcome.

I feel like this is a pretty stupid question, but Enchanters on p99 are over the top in how OP they can be both solo and in xp groups by charming stupidly powerful npcs to do the dirty work. The above is a difference that could explain why they get faster solo xp on p99, but it still seems like them charming OP mobs like rogues and wrecking seems over the top. Did charmed NPCs always do full damage? Are there any documented accounts from classic of enchanters charming osargen or similar NPC and just wrecking a zone? Is this something people just didn't figure out? Because it seems like if an enchanter did this in classic, others would see it and be like WTF and you'd see posts on allakhazam osargen page like "he's ok but use him as a charm pet he's F-ing badass."
