C'mon man, that's patently not true!

Charming requires knowing how to cast charm, and how to break it. Effectively charming just requires understanding how pet XP distribution works (something people did in fact understand back then), and adding that knowledge in.

That's it! You charm mob A, break charm before you kill mob B, and you're off getting decent solo XP. Pretty quickly anyone even trying that would figure out how to optimize it by killing off the charmed pet too.

Goblin Ghazughi Rings and everything else is nice, but the core of an Enchanter charming is Charm + Break Charm. And again, if Shaman could figure out Cann-dancing, Enchanters (AND Druids, Bards, and Necromancers!) could have figured out charming ...

... BUT THEY DIDN'T. So there's only two possibilities. The intellectually dishonest one, "they were dumb", or the honest one, which is "even if we got 99% of the mechanics around Enchanters right, something here isn't classic."
