I haven't really seen people force min/max upon anyone. If someone asks a question like "which camp has the best XP?", there are objective answers to that. I guess you could say some sweat lords in game kick people from groups who aren't playing well, but I've rarely seen that personally.
I do agree that gamers in general these days are more min/max focused. I think that is more of a general shift in how people play games, rather than specific sweaties.
The generation of gamers that grew up on Everquest were much younger in 1999, and had more time to play games at their own pace. Those gamers have grown up and have responsibilities, so they tend to min/max to save time. I do agree that this mentality can reduce the fun you are having.
Necro + Mage sounda pretty cruisey...
Yeah at lower levels especially, you can level quickly even with the pet penalty. On my Enchanter I still get good XP when I do not break charm before the kill. Leveling from like 1-40 or 1-50 is pretty fast for an experienced player.

Piffle. You see quite a few peeps see a "what class/rave should I play as a total casual
that will never see BIS gear" thread and immediately say BIS warriors/rogs/pal/sk make no difference. Pick the prettiest model.
Assuming min/maxing and shitting up the thread. You have seen it surely. You are clever enough.
Im glad you agree that min/maxing can take away the fun of playing for
some people.
Playing a druid leveling while making tattered then studded then reonforced armor, did it make much difference? Probably not. Was it fun? Hell yeah. For me..
A min/maxer may be lvl 35 by then. Good for them.
