In the scope of an immersive online world, how does this mechanic make sense? Was it initially intended?

There is so much in EQ that wasn't intended by the original developers. They were essentially creating something new and had no idea how players would use the world they were creating.
I remember reading an interview where one of the developers talked about how they never even thought about quad kiting, it was something that players created using the tools at their disposal.
So trying to ask if something 'was intended' is a little irrelevant.

I didn’t think being denied the use of an exploit was considered a handicap either.

Now you are calling it an 'exploit'... let me ask this was it ever deemed an exploit in live EQ?
