Sure. You can read it how you want without putting any thought into it. But think about it. How hard was it to charm mobs when barely anyone had the internet to control it? If charm broke on 1, let alone multiple, during a packet spike, the raid wiped. I'm sure you feel differently, but most of yours' are shit posts too. At least mine is trying to open discussion on how things really were in classic. But thanks for enlightening us with your shit post on my shit post. Here's hoping to more shit posts linked to mine!
Oof, sorry I called your post a shit post. Didn't anticipate the vitriol/anger. I apologize.

Anywho, nah, charming wasn't that bad. Even if the dreaded disconnect happened, the pet just needed to be rooted or mezzed or tanked or whatever. People here are acting like 56k was this nigh unstable internet barely able to send emails let alone play Everquest, but it wasn't that bad (at least 200k EQ players didn't seem to think so).

The problem with dial-up internet was that as soon as someone in your house picked up the phone it disconnected, which would certainly make charming a much bigger liability

In parts of the world people's ping to the server is nearly 300. So bard kiting is out, but everything else (surprise surprise) feels fine.
