Profanity is my reaction when I explicitly make a logical argument about B, and I get a flood of replies arguing about A.

"Druids weren't charming on live. You know it; I know it; everybody knows it" isn't a logical argument, it's gaslighting.

And when you make a false claim, and pretend that I made it, it's called making a straw man argument.

I never said "no one ever charmed on live". What I said (and what remains an incontrovertible fact, which anyone who played a meaningful amount of classic EQ will remember) is that most Druids root/rotted or kited (quad or otherwise).

Look at this page from Caster's Realm filled with player guides for Druids 29-50 ... in 2002 (ie. after Luclin's release!): https://web.archive.org/web/20040513...uid&Category=4

There's 20 different articles about quading and solo kiting and root/rotting ... and not a single one about charming!

So again, either the vast, vast majority of Druids on live were complete idiots who ignored a much faster way to XP ... or that much faster way to XP didn't exist on live.
