I would simply describe it as a minor issue of balance.
There are non-Sirran methods of charming in Sky that allow a single enchanter to be the rough equivalent of up to 10 average melee DPSers.
On a raid like this I would much rather have that DPS represented by 10 actual players, as opposed to bottling it all up in a single enchanter and his or her charmed pet.

However on the other hand, I can entirely understand that if you lack the personnel then it is nothing but common sense to take advantage of charming in order to compensate.
I was mainly referring to Sirran though, to be honest. With a well-organised raid of 25-30 people dragging a griffin or a horse, for instance, to Isle 1 or 2 and using it as a charmed pet the entire raid is nothing but a liability. Sirran, though, removes any semblance of challenge entirely.

It wasn't my intention to attack either of you with that one harmless sentence I put in the original post. Please continue to raid Sky however feels most natural to you, and disregard all other opinions that are contrary.

Also, I'd really prefer it if this thread didn't transform into a thorough discussion of the merits and pitfalls of charming, and if you're still interested in discussing such things then please feel free to send me a tell in-game =)
