Default Uncharmable Merchants

A popular enchanter tactic is the charming of merchants... but is it classic?

Please post evidence for and against here, obviously in era evidence preferred!

For:

???

Against:

"Restored "charmability" of most NPCs (merchants will remain uncharmable) in Kael due to fix of combat AI bug listed bellow under ** Miscellaneous Changes **."

"Alas, merchants can't be charmed,"

"She can't be charmed...neither can the other level 45 Merchant [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]"

I'm sure more definitive evidence can be dug up to prove whether this was a kael and post luclin only thing or applied more widely to all merchants in the game.

Note: while researching this I discovered early PoP era Rolandal in WL was charmable and enchanters (or perhaps just an enchanter) were using him to solo Woushi! Kinda interesting!
