I think it's safe to say that, on live or here, everyone was looking for the fastest way to level. Death was scary on both servers, but that didn't stop people from trying new techniques.
As a simple example, I had a Bard friend (IRL) and I remember watching him learn this crazy "swarm kiting" thing that he discovered on the Bard forum. I remember him dying plenty, at first ... but that was not enough to scare him off. He and plenty of other Bards (with good Internet connections) all picked up the technique, because it promised the one thing we all wanted: levels (and AAs soon after).

100%. Look, I'm arguing that Charm should be harder, which puts me in the extreme 0.001% of P99 players
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. But at the same time, I
don't want to "nerf Charm into oblivion": it
should be viable on P99! If Enchanters weren't charming on P99 (in greater numbers than on live, due to greater knowledge) the emulator would
also fail my "Street Fighter" test.
I'm not arguing for the end of charming or anything close ... I'm just saying, we have an emulator based on a game that we don't know the exact numbers for. Based on the "Street Fighter test", it seems we got those numbers wrong somehow ... not a lot, but enough that something clearly "smells" wrong.
We just need to adjust those numbers
a bit to have an emulator that more closely matches live.
