For me it's about the journey to high level. I always said Enchanter was mostly classic at high levels but too many bad players are able to get there too easily without the pain and heart ache of the low level Enchanter grind. In any case I don't really care about Enchanters I just want more difficulty and classic atmosphere. This should provide that but mainly during a new server launch where it will be much more challenging to level than it was on Green if this goes live. It will be an entirely new meta and my hope is that it will prove me right that this will also fix the raid scene because most people simply couldn't reach max level in time to raid. It will change the leveling/progression curve and allow for those who are actually good at the game to have a less congested raid experience.

Ya, I have no max level or raid experience so won't try to comment on something I know nothing about
I leveled very slowly, much slower than most, so my earliest levels are hazy, but yeah I guess I did possibly abuse channeling or something, but I had no frame of reference
Really I get where you are coming from in terms of encouraging grouping, but not sure if it would have the desired effect (but maybe it would). I think that someone that insists on soloing does it due to either the time that they play, having to afk, basically some RL reason. What this change would do I predict would be to pull those people out of solo'ing dungeons and force them to solo maybe more slowly outside in a controlled environment
Theoretically, an enchanter can exclusively use the animation pet to kill greens and blues with slow probably all the way to lev 55+ (not sure how the last rank of pet fares because I don't have it, but the 49 pet can still kill blues with slow on). And that would remain a zero risk method (maybe pathers but all you need to do is mez + calm them before they engage, problem solved). I think even charm solo'ing singles outside would remain a very low or no risk method to solo from 1 to max level for chanters
So it would definitely alter their solo playstyle, would it force them to group? Naw, not if they had a strong reason for not wanting to. Just my .02, might be wrong
