A lot of what makes EQ sims different is the temperment of the players. Sure charm didn’t last as long on live but the people not charming pets just wanted a more chill game. Or they didn’t want to burn tons of peridots in groups. Or nobody expected every enchanter to just do it.
I'm so sick of hearing this terrible argument.

It amounts to "live Enchanters didn't know how to cast the spells on their spell list" ... despite the fact that there was 20x or more of them playing on live than on here, and they all shared information on the Enchanter forum the same way we share info here. In fact, they did so a lot more, because the game was new, there was no wiki, and there was a lot more info to share.

So either 20x Enchanters were all terrible players who couldn't cast spells on their list ... or our emulator is doing a bad job of emulating (in the one specific area of charm; it does a pretty amazing job almost everywhere else).
