Extensive evidence, full proof that Enchanters are non-classic and must be nerfed.

WHAT WE DO HERE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN WHAT ANYONE DID ON LIVE, EVER.

This is why we charm with great power here.

We know too much.

Ok Jib, so let's take a simple example. When my Druid was in his teens here on P99, I took him out to South Karana, where I proceeded to charm some elephants and make them fight each other. I knew nothing about charming, except the very basics of how it works (ie. cast charm to get a pet, cast invis on yourself to lose the pet, and then the usual rules about when pets take XP). I'm pretty sure live people knew those basics too, and knowing only that (with no Goblin ring), I was quickly getting noticeably more XP than I could earn root/rotting.

Now, South Karana was a popular destination on live too (more popular than here in fact). It had elephants too, and mechanically they were probably the same as the ones we have (modulo their exact spawn points). So IF our emulator was truly the same as live ... that would mean live Druids could also have done the exact same thing: charmed for faster XP, without a ring or any special tech, or even any knowledge whatsoever except how two spells on their list worked, and how pets worked,

But they didn't! Again, 20 root/rot guides vs. 1 charm guide ... long after the classic era. The vast majority of Druids weren't charming on live ... even though (again, IF our emulation is correct) they should have been able to do so, and would have gotten much better XP if they did.

Either the vast majority of live Druids ignored a way to get faster XP, a way that only required using two spells on their list and no real special knowledge ... OR, our emulator isn't accurate.
