P.S. Tons of evidence supports all the claims made above. It's pretty much undeniable that all of that is true as backed up by evidence, client de-compiles, in era posting, etc. There really shouldn't be anymore discussion on this because it's already proven charm on P99 is nowhere close to classic. Until at a minimum channeling gets fixed then P99 is easy mode. Enchanter just seems to abuse this the most.

People in classic weren't good. The game (and MMOs in general) was new. Go find someone who's never played a MMO before and see how long it takes for them to learn how to charm solo. It takes a very solid understanding of EQ combat that people did not have in classic era.
How long did it take for people to figure out about GCD clickies? How long did it take for people to figure out that Goblin Rings were instant charm breaks? You needed all of those pieces in place before charm soloing became viable. That's what you should be looking for, not "charm soloing guide 101 in the year 1999".
And I don't get the channeling argument. I played a wizard on live and I would root or nuke through getting hit all the time. You act like it was impossible. You just had to time your cast right.
And as I said to Lor, charm soloing has inherent risk built into it. It's not easy and you will die a lot. It's not a free path to 60 by any means. Same with bard kiting. Grouping is still the "easy mode" of leveling because it's the path with the least amount of deaths.
