Wrong. It is an mmorpg. Enchanters were better before because they grouped and roleplayed.
Since we’re talking about grouping, let’s factor in server health and player preferences. 1/4 to 1/3 of the playerbase (including lots of casual scrubs like me) are playing 1 of a few strong solo classes because for whatever reason they aren’t wanting to group. Maybe it’s because when they play, groups aren’t available. Or maybe it’s because with their play setup they have to frequently afk. Or maybe they’re just anti-social and weird

All 3 aren’t going to be pleased to be hit with a few coder’s guess on how classic charming went based on a vocal minority of players on the forum

So what happens next? People either adapt, re-roll, or quit. If they re-roll and want to be a strong solo’er, they’ll be funneled into fewer choices and so class populations will continue to skew. And they’ll probably be more likely to quit the longer they were used to the old version. And if it was challenging to find groups when you played before, and some casual players in your level range just quit....Well that’s a bummer
