...Same reason you saw folks defending things (using these same arguments) ranging from whirl till you hurl back when P99 first opened to broken monk sneak splitting to melee combat bind.
I believe random-type spells in general are too "user friendly" on P99. It's probably an EQ-EMU tuning issue. Not just charm, but lulls, roots, invisibility, pretty much all the random-type spells seem rather too good here. All we have is circumstantial evidence though. The sort of hard proof management prefers likely does not exist due to the original values for those types of things being host-side and hence inaccessible to the community. Anything that was kept in the clientside spelldata files (mana costs, etc) we can easily get right, but stuff that was host-side requires some guesswork.
At any rate I don't care enough to spend much time trying to search for the elusive "smoking gun." Enchanters don't bother me all that much. Mostly they're doing stuff that would've been occupied in the original game anyway due to higher server populations. I hate bards way more.
