I think people REALLY didnt want their characters to die on Live first time tru so all it takes is one quick charm break death to decide “not worth it”

The rewards were not known yet for that continued risk so why bother?

If you can kill and gain exp w o using charm which could kill you any moment, why would you bother w it at all. Its not til enchanters start solo ing the entire globe for pixel riches that you see the risk/reward of charm play out.

People also are much faster ab CR nowadays compared to our classic experience. Death happens and we move on, but first play tru each death was devastation.
