I don't need "proof": basic logic dictates that if you have many thousands of Enchanter players, and a good chunk are communicating on a forum, that they're going to share useful information with each other and make that information widely known (eg. the information that you can earn XP a whole lot faster by soloing than you can in a group).

The sad truth is 90% of the players back then ranged from bad to terrible. Only 5% were competent, and only 5% elite. perhaps even sadder, as this thread demonstrates, many of those original 90% still are in the bad to terrible range on p99 today, though thankfully the vast majority have moved into the competent range of the spectrum.

Now, many people back then didn't post their various exceptional accomplishments for fear of competition(other people copying them and then competing with them) as well as the main issue: the fear that the nerf hammer was just around the corner for anyone being a bit too boastful of their exploits. For reference see the necromancer for the first year or so of classic. Nerfed in virtually every patch. No one wanted to be the next necromancer. I solo'd the froglok king on my SK at level 50 with non-planar gear back then. Do you think I posted on any SK forums about it? Nope. Know why? First, the majority of people wouldn't believe it, most of the rest would use it as "proof" Sks are overpowered or don't have any other outstanding issues with the class, second, I didn't give a shit. I was in the 5% elite range, and I only cared what that 5% thought, not the 95% peanut gallery.
