I think you misunderstand the original intent of this thread. We are not saying that charm is incredibly useful and people need to use it more. We are saying that what was long the defining job ability of the BST job is losing its usefulness by SE's recent decisions. We want charm to still useful, to still be a viable option, instead of losing an ability that was a source of much of the fun of BST. We're upset that it isn't as useful as it should be.
