I know this argument and completely disagree with it. (respectfully). Monks were not the best class at pulling to entrance. I'd say mages are. In fact, monks are only critical for tagging out... and even then not really. If I were pulling vulak..... i'd rather be an enchanter, mage, necro, cleric, shaman, druid, bard.. over my monk. The more DA's the better.

And from a classic standpoint, many guilds in era pulled dragons across the zone to kill in different spots.

It's not a loot conveyor belt. I don't give a fuck about the loot. If somebody did nothing but sit at entrance, it was their choice. Which was a fine choice, because not everybody wants to be a playmaker. And that's true even in the current meta. But classes were not pigeonholed.
Anyone with the right gear / clickies / knowledge can do the pulls. It's intimidating to learn them without FD.

Also it doesn't change the fact that regardless of which classes are doing the pull, 90% of your raid is sitting at the entrance waiting for a dragon to be delivered to them. During the era of dragon pulls to entrance, most players never stepped foot past the ToV entrance. That's not how the game was meant to be played, period. That's why as soon as players started figuring out how to do these pulls on live, the devs rooted the dragons to put a stop to it. P99 staff just waited 4 years because reasons.
