Fires of Heaven were the elite on my server (Veeshan) and they weren't charm soloing. If you want you can go ask them.

I think the point people are making is there are plenty of actual and logical reasons for why people weren't charm soloing as rampantly (although people were doing it just not as much as they are today). Mainly due to simple knowledge/lack of awareness of it's power/lack of awareness of how Charm works (e.g. CHA, MR, and mob level difference all being the saving rolls (the last one being the huge difference maker as people used to want Enchs to charm the highest level pet possible and had no idea that level difference affected Charm break chance)), as well as technical limitations with both the Internet and peoples' computers, etc.

That doesn't mean there's anything broken with Charm on P99.

It's like saying that because people didn't farm X item nonstop on live, or because people didn't camp Y spot for exp all the time on live, that there must be something incorrect/non-classic about the item/camp on P99. It's a totally snonsensical and BS argument lol.
