I know this argument and completely disagree with it. (respectfully). Monks were not the best class at pulling to entrance. I'd say mages are. In fact, monks are only critical for tagging out... and even then not really. If I were pulling vulak..... i'd rather be an enchanter, mage, necro, cleric, shaman, druid, bard.. over my monk. The more DA's the better.
And from a classic standpoint, many guilds in era pulled dragons across the zone to kill in different spots.
It's not a loot conveyor belt. I don't give a fuck about the loot. If somebody did nothing but sit at entrance, it was their choice. Which was a fine choice, because not everybody wants to be a playmaker. And that's true even in the current meta. But classes were not pigeonholed.

Forgive the double post. I really didn't want to address you nitpicking the least important part of my OP, but it's just annoying me. We could argue about what class is the 'best' for pulling til we are blue in the face since 'best' is a matter of opinion. But what's entirely objective and demonstrable is 'most common'. Go look at any pull video from the TOV race / pull era and I know what you will see on the starting line - Iksar monks as far as the eye can see. There's a reason for that. Other classes might have been better in theory but in practice there was one class that was far and away the most commonly used for pull teams.
Again though, this is a huge derailing from the 2 main points I was trying to make.
1. Trains to entrance was not the way the game was meant to be played.
2. It doesn't matter what meta you adopt, the p99 raid scene will always be toxic as long as it relies on the self-policing petition system.
