Yeah, early days of PoP the ideal 'solo' situation for charmers was to find a really bored tradeskiller/roleplayer/friend and 'duo' with them in places like Plane of Nightmare.

The second player sitting there doing nothing (literally nothing) caused the pet to not steal any XP, and so the xp rate was higher due to the pet not stealing xp and the small group bonus.
