I really don't get the Chardok reference. I remember that being a choice spot to grind because a well geared/skilled group with a good puller could pull huge numbers of mobs and AE them down continuously. I never recall that ever being looked down on or considered any sort of exploit (or maybe I'm not understanding what is being described here).

On P99, the entire zone of Chardok is pulled in 1 pull and AoE’d down. The standard procedure is to assemble a group of wizards/enchanters/clerics and have the wizards outside of group AoE the shit down to low life and then gate out of the zone. At this point the “inside DPS” wizard will finish the mobs off and get XP for every single mob. The entire time chanters are stun locking the zerg of mobs and the cleric uses divine aura and heal agro to get the mobs grouped up properly.

The problem is that these guys sell “proxy” spots (where you just sit in group and leech XP…you pay a premium platinum price for this)…So you can imagine that continuously pulling the entire zone every 20 minutes and selling group spots for 2k per pull equals a lot of levels and money changing hands. It’s a RMT cesspool and it has made it where people can level from 50-60 in one weekend (NOT CLASSIC). heaven forbid if a Monk needs to go camp the Pipe for his epic - you must buy for 3k from some Wizard sh!tlord who has the zone on lock down or sit and patiently wait for one to drop and then buy it.

Classic Charok AoE is killing like 10-20 mobs at once, not 200
