Hello all, yet another returning player here

[Flotsam]

I have only played my bard to 11 so far (rather slowly...), but people are happy to group in Blackburrow, where I have mostly been.

My take is that the gameplay is really just like 2000 but attitudes are different, partly based on preconceptions. What have a I noticed? Well-
1. Nobody likes swarm kiters. I never actually noticed this on live.
2. There are lots of shammies, chanters, monks and druids, because everyone knows how OP they were back then.
3. Very few pallies and SK's, maybe because they didn't stack up well against warriors then and are rarely useful in raids.
4. Rangers are still the butt of jokes. They were fun to play though, so I hope they still are.
5. Do mid-level groups really reject non-epic-twinked rogues? Min/maxing brats.
6. Wizzies don't get much group love, but scarcity makes them desired for raiding. Strange this, because I recall loving wizzies in groups in 2000. I imagine they are still torture to level.

Hopefully someone more expert will stop by and clarify.

PS Bards seem to get groups ok.
