Could be wrong, but some people back in the day had computers that couldn't handle the graphics load for things like raids with all the pixels and effects and tons of people. So certain important classes where lag could mean life or death for them/the raid (such as a Cleric in a complete heal chain) would stare at the wall to avoid their computer having to render the raid so that they wouldn't lag.

My buddy back on live was a bard and would have to stare at the ground during planar raids lol
