Theres a good chance AE groups never happened on live EQ until well after velious release, and possibly as late as Luclin. So yeah, forgive the people who are happy to see abuse of a non-classic mechanic done away with, even if it's just temporarily.

You can confirm that AE groups were available before Luclin by searching Graffe.com archives. There are posts from early 2001 that indicate that it had been happening for a while (So definitely pre-Luclin). I remember a thread where a developer commented on AE groups saying something like 'we told you wizards had potential' [paraphrase]

I also remember wizards commenting at the time (velious) that the method wasn't all that useful until later levels when you were already close to the level cap of 60. That is probably why they were not widespread until Luclin was released.

With Luclin's introduction of AAs it became more common place since you could stay in the level range of the zones that were most often used by turning off level advancement experience.
