You "agreeing to disagree" in face of that is you "being obtuse."

Look, just because I don't agree with you that the thousands of Enchanter players on Live were too stupid to cast their class defining spell does not make me obtuse. Try to remember: when you read the manual and started playing, Enchanters were sold as the masters of mind control, ie. charmers ... Verant was not lke "play this class, you'll distract monsters while everyone else fights!". You had to play and discover that that was your reality as an Enchanter.

Yes "modern knowledge" like GCD or Goblin ring makes charm significantly more powerful. But even without those things ... I promise you, there are Enchanters right now, on Green/Teal, charming ... who have never even heard of GCD items.

Their lack of modern knowledge isn't what's stopping them from charming. Heck, if they don't know GCD we're probably talking about "fresh from live" players: they're default would be to think they can only mez. I posit that it's the lack of a classic mechanic which leads them to play differently here ... again, in a system with something like 98.5% super close if not perfectly accurate mechanics.
