Now if you did content a few expansions down the road sure, your obviously overgeared enough you can spank and tank it but dont dare say it was spank and tank because it was far from that.
I agree as well, I actually happened to play during that era, along with a progressive guild which was the first to obtain Time keys, and raid Plane of Time itself. Especially places with final encounters like Plane of Earth (and B,) it took alot of effort to initially raid those kinds of places.

Especially because there weren't any existing strats for places like that, known to the public's eyes. People often take things for granted, because there's plenty of info on every encounter already - take your pick. There aren't that many players around anymore, who actually invent new strats and tactics on the fly, it's not so common these days.
