The simple fact of the matter is that if people were doing these pulling tricks extensively on live back in the day, the devs would've stepped in to find a solution. They would've viewed it as exploitative. And I would bet their solution would've been rooting them or something similar (maybe that they only chase so far, etc.).

Absolutely not true, a good portion of people i've talked to who raided ToV back in live said that they pretty much exclusively killed dragons on Aary steps.
Also I don't exactly buy into the notion that only pullers had fun during that era... because if you weren't out in the hub helping, or helping pull, that's because you didn't want to. Sedativex exclusively pulled on his shaman. Clerics is one of the better classes to pull with. Mages were the absolute best. ANY class could hall tag or clean up mobs. Wizards are great, and at one point were the premiere pulling class when you could still bind in zone.
I also find it weird that a Red player is in here talking about how rose tinted glasses and unrooted dragons... considering the red server hasn't been able to raid NToV SINCE the dragons were rooted. Honestly, has vulak been killed on the red server in the last two years at all??
All this being said, i'm not crying up a storm about rooted dragons. I still think races and lockouts is what we should try for next. If the dragons were unrooted tomorrow, there would be some issues. You're not allowed to coth race anymore, so you'd have to run from zonein, FTE, and get it back to the zone in clean.
