Oh, with him it's salt I'm sure.

Show me an example of someone, in 1999-2003 era, that was able to pull the crap we saw in chardok or bard swarms and I might agree with you.

No, the hard limit was not in classic, but the result is decidedly more classic than without. Back in those days, no one could have swarms of 100+. Due to PC/server performance, network bandwidth, etc.

A more classic solution probably would have been to start artificially lagging people when they hit more than 25 mobs.
I used to see AE groups in Sebilis on Veeshan server where the cleric (often famed CT cleric Teurde Ferguson) would DA pull from the zone out straight through to the back end of disco 2. Massive AE pulls did happen in the day.

50% of "LDs" during velious were people pulling the plug when their dad woke up

another solution with pbAOE would be to cap xp on big pulls, like you get xp for the first 25 mobs, no more
