original devs also never foresaw kiting, pulling, or people being giant greedy dickbags but here we are
Oh, they definitely knew about people being greedy and murderous. They had experience with MUD's and Everquest was built to have people fighting over NPC's. They simply didn't like from certain MUD's that getting the killing blow on an NPC gave that person all the exp. Their fix was making it so the group who did the highest amount of damage got the exp.

Kiting and pulling being emergent are things that make sense with the spells being used to do it. Pets that are just meant to be dumb magical blobs being able to instantly detect NPC's from miles away? Nonsensical and never something they'd keep around.
