Did anyone really care about a lvl 1 enchanter. Jesus cry later at lvl 42-47 resists ffs. hehe

I care because I see the big picture of how making low levels easier damages the high level experience. There shouldn't be 500 people at max level waiting for raid mobs to pop. There is a reason this didn't happen in classic and no it's not "muh game knowledge."
Like I just posted, allowing Enchanters to burn through levels easily while farming dungeons means they're racking up items that only groups should be able to obtain. Allowing Enchanters an easy time from level 1 means a lot more Enchanters than would otherwise exist. Enchanter was fucking brutal at low levels. It was almost impossible to solo and grouping meant you died repeatedly due to others mistakes or just bad luck. There is a reason it was the least played class not just because "muh game knowledge."
Notice how many people have already said, oh I don't need channeling, I have my animation to solo instead! Guess what? That is another bug that has been proven on P99. Your animation should have about half the HP it currently does and gets smoked by even blue mobs in a few seconds. It's not an equivalent tank to mage/necro pets like it is on P99.
Enchanters can't effectively solo until they get Jboots or if they have enough plat to buy SoW potions and then it's only outdoors. Just doesn't happen otherwise. They don't solo in dungeons. Their animation is a joke and doesn't solo blues on its own like happens on P99. They are a group based class that gets shit on repeatedly.
This also ties into the Mez bug which is that Mez shouldn't apply mem blur on recast. Mez has to break first and be recast for the mem blur component to reapply. Remember Enchanters having massive aggro in groups and crying about it and dying? This is why that doesn't happen on P99. You just spam mez, oh wait, let me remez before you break, let me remez this mob I just tashed, slowed, etc, blah blah. Didn't happen that way in classic you ate all the aggro accumulating on a mezzed mob. In fact the data I found even showed the mem blur was a random chance to blur anyone on the aggro list. You might even make things worse for yourself.
Current Enchanter is basically the root of why P99 isn't classic. No one wants to admit it but if you consider channeling, animation HP, and this mez bug you're 90% of the way there. Enchanter doesn't just carry themselves either. They farm items, they carry groups, and they trivialize raid content with charms. Most of that shouldn't be possible and the few things that are like charmed planar mobs should only involve a tiny number of Enchanters who had the balls to face a terrifying leveling experience to get there. Not casual newbs just easily being master soloers, groupers, and raiders forming an army of charmed pets and solo dungeon farmers ravaging all content.
Too many people like to ignore the low levels and focus on high level things being ignorant of how that low level experience changes the high level landscape. These changes would actually make things better because there should be a much lower high level population and we might actually see raid mobs that don't get perma wiped within a week of each expansion coming out by armies of farmed up alts, charmed pets, and piles upon piles of solo farmed dungeon items.
The nerfed clickies, rooted dragons, lawyer questing, etc would all go away if we DID care about level 1 Enchanters and making their life as difficult as it was on live and Enchanter is just the best example. Everyone's life should be more difficult as it was in classic. The "muh game knowledge" excuse is old and tired given the number of proven bugs that would destroy the current ease of P99. It is easier with the existing game knowledge, we don't need it even easier by letting Enchanters casually solo dungeons to level 50 abusing known bugs and then wonder about their power once they get there.
