What I'm saying is that there were 20 guides on the page I linked, and as you found a whole bunch more on the rest of the site ... but you found one on charming. If live players had all the same tools back then we have now (and we agree: they did) ... and if it was as easy/safe/effective as it is here ... why wasn't it the topic of 50+% of the guides?

The reply here seems to be "on live, only one in a thousand ever tried using their class spells to get XP, and he had a terrible Internet connection" ... and there's absolutely some truth to that! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But it doesn't fully explain the gigantic delta between us and live: many did have stable connections, there were tons of guides, forum discussions, etc. about the best way to level ... but while charm is obviously better here, it was barely mentioned there. Why?
I told you, it took like 10 years for charm to get the way it was here, 6 years ago only 20% of the server did it, now 100%

the internet, guides, youtube, thats how.

no doubt in my mind that in the fast pace 3 years of learning this game that that level of game was never reached by anymore than a select few that were too anti social to be able to explain it or write an article

absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence
