Yes, everyone was stupid. You're stupid for thinking that.

Does anyone have any really old logs from this time period on live that have charm sessions recorded in it? If so, and you have enough, you can count up all the encounters in those logs and their duration, and start doing some math. You'll need to know the stats of chars, their levels, and the level of the mobs they are working with. Torven over at TAKP has done a ton of that kind of extensive log parsing.
Anyway, hard to do I know, but that would be one form of 'proof'.

Yeah, people that played an enc back then were obviously stupid, and never tried to charm things.

90% of p99 can't charm correctly today even with videos and guides all over. 9% who can do it well now didn't know how to 4-5 years ago. Dudes like Save were owning kunark solo before I even had a chanter. My point is barely anyone even on p99 knew how to use charm to great effect for half of it's lifetime. And if barely anyone here knew how to use it well in 2014-2015, you can bet your ass nobody knew how to use it well in 1999-2001. It could have been better on live than it is here and people still wouldn't have used it because a few bads tried, and got killed by a break, and their groups all spread the word that charm is shit. | |||

One saving grace is that after Kunark things do get tougher and full traditional groups start to be more appealing to the general playerbase. | |||

i mean, as a caster back in the days. mob starts hitting you? what did you do? run in circles trying to stop getting hit.
what do you do now? not much cause you know you're not actually gonna die so you can mez / root / charm / whatever. that simple change of mentality 'oh i'm actually fine right now' allows you to do more 'risky' stuff. | ||
