Pointing out one or two potential benefits of a major patch is different from blind faith in a game development company.

The title of my thread was sensational on purpose, but I still feel the points made therein were valid. Druids bring more to high risk groups in remote dungeons than they bring to zoneline xp grinds.

Stating the above does not mean I loved the patch. It does not mean I liked the part about getting 50% less xp all over the place. It does not mean I liked the part about our healing abilities falling even further behind those of clerics, in the name of balancing.

"I used SoE in Sirens Grove for 4 months. Did you?"
mkay. Grotto maybe?

I do think "level pulling" reflects a flaw in the game design. I pull for groups, and it is ridiculously easy in some places. This leads to boring groups, in my opinion. How shall we put it, "Bowling with bumpers?"

"Let's move somewhere else"
"Nah, it is safer here and we get good xp"
I'm looking forward to the day when more people say, "Yeah, let's go somewhere else."

Discussions are good when you can separate conflicting viewpoints from personal attacks. Ask a few questions and you'll probably find we agree on a lot of things.

Not a VAK, but not thrilled by unrelenting pessimism either.

Grotto.

I usually just type SG, and brain farted.

Btw, I used it in Velks Laboratory too.

Fyyr in da Hole!

/smile.

Joking aside.

I too am not thrilled with unrelenting pessimism, why I posted the humor thread. Now go post a joke or movie or something, Quelm.

You are worried about being called a VAK, and Mira/Kiatec is worried about being called a troll. You guys are silly.

I will tell you this, though, Quelm, if the posters here, the Grovers, felt half of what I felt about this 9-4 patch...It shows the enormous amount of restraint and decorum on their part.

btw, my point(that you quoted) was that one can not judge a class by one brain fart or Freudian Slip of a single poster. Nor even for not knowing what others may know. Many do not know that one could use SoE in non-lev zones, many do not know that one could not cast SoE in lev zones. Not knowing those things does not make one a bad or inferior player, nor can another negatively judge another, or entire class for that matter, for that ignorance.

Anyways, thanks again for the message and have fun and get some exp.
