I think the answer to this question is simple.

Back in classic, people didn't really know the mechanics of the game. I remember making an SK and gearing all for INT. I didn't know any better. Now we know, as a knight class, gear for AC/HP STR ect. This is the reason people thought SK's were insufficient group tanks. Most didn't know what spells to use that cause the most aggro, or how to properly FD split.

There's not much we don't know about this game now.
