Game Mechanics: NPCs should be able to charm an infinite amount of entities

[CrazyPro]

Currently on P99, NPCs won't try to charm people while they have a pet up, and in the case of the version of Bristlebane we have here, his dictate proc will do nothing if he already has someone charmed. (Yes, people have killed Bristlebane on p99 before, he dropped a random trash card I think.)

It did not work this way in classic and still doesn't to this day on live as far as I know.

Why is it, then,
that a)MoBs can still charm players, and b)MoBs can charm MULTIPLE players?
Doesnt seem very fair...

Who writes this crap? Read: She charms. So when your main tank gets CHARMED what is going to happen to your rogues? How long do you think they will last against a mob that hits for 800? Especially when your main tank is now busy chasing your clerics. You should really have 3 tanks.. she can charm multiple people, and with 3 tanks you are pretty sure that at least one will resist. This will buy you a little time as someone tries to dispell your tank.

Beware: These mephits will charm multiple players at once, creating havoc for the average single group.

Harla Dar is annoying because she can charm multiple people.

In Luclin, they even added a raid mob that has an AoE charm: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=7830
