In regards to your sig: never dumbass.

Personally I'm excited about hitting 60 and trying some solo challenge stuff, after clicking your sig and reading through that thread.

Solo challenge stuff is pretty amusing in my experience. I suspect we'll hit The Hole soon.

I've been on the server for about 3 1/2 years with some breaks and some times (like this year) with very low play time. Even with the extended Kunark timeline, I find plenty to do all the time. I think the only people running out of things to do are the most hardcore raiders.

What people say, and what people do are totally different. People say on the forum and ingame that they would gladly take anyone good at their class, but a good Ranger will never do more DPS than a good Rogue. So they will skip a Ranger to get a Rogue, even if he was waiting an hour to join the group.

EDIT: Same thing with a Warrior and Paladin/SK.

There is never a situation in which the dps difference between a rogue and a ranger is even remotely relevant to 99% of groups on this server.. Every group outgears content by such a ridiculous margin that min/maxing your group to take on the content is beyond absurd. Mobs explode seconds after the group targets them, and wipes are almost entirely related to pulls gone wrong, an enchanter pet going haywire, or someone breaking cc.

Now, the exp penalty, on the other hand, will dissuade some groups. Can't do much about those kinds of people.

The xp penalty in my opinion is WAY over hyped. If you don't have a tank and a big fat Ogre SK shows up he is in. Or even a uglier Troll SK shows up guess what, He is in. You are not going to sit there for a hour waiting for one of 20 Warriors in the game to show up. :eek: By then the group would break up. And if it is a Guildie you sure as hell am not going to turn them down.

I know it does make a difference XP wise but hell it is just part of the game.

The exp penalty's affect on groups is definitely overhyped. It's sad how many people think 40% of the group's exp disappears when an SK joins or whatever.

The penalty is barely even noticable in most situations.

But I wont be able to raid VP. Not that I want to. And I won't ever pass 55. But that's beside the point. Whole game ruined for me
