sorry.... i don't know you aside from some posts here, apologies for the gender confusion. :smileysad:

yes, random pick up groups can be fun and challenging. i agree. i've just found the game more enjoyable since i actually built an understanding of what was going on behind the scenes. it was more of a suggestion than a "you are wrong, change please". :smiley-wink:

specifically, i think he was talking about raiding guilds. my logic was just me being a jerk... trying to be funny.

i wouldn't really say i'm on a different side now; i agree with what you've said. my biggest point was to share my experience that learning more about the workings of the game made the experience more enjoyable overall for me. :cool:

Just a side note cause it's bugging me.

Mystic = Shaman
Warden = Druid

They aren't opposites like rangers and assassins.

That having been said, I honestly have to agree that there isn't enough distinction between a lot of the classes. It certainly isn't enough to warrant the separation. They need more defined roles * shrugs *

Who's post do you mean? I compare ranger and assassins as a joke...lol. And I used shaman, summoner, and druid to describe some of the classes they got rid of. I'm sorry if it was confusing...

Id like to see a merger on the summoners to make room for beast lords.

Conjromancer with planeshfit/undead tide and charm,stoneskin,FD, snare, pet stoneskin, prevent death, sacrafice, linch, fear, rez, -- that would be a fun class to play

Qeynos by all accounts is a dictatorship. And Queen Bayle is a loose woman, look how she dresses. Think about the children. Why are the brokers allowed to gouge us for 20% huh? Why hasn't the government looked deeper into that?

And no worries... it probably wasn't. I'm just really blonde and easily confused * nod *

Yes, I was referring to raiding guilds.

I am 100% positive that a merge would not go over smoothly. I guarentee SoE would lose subscriptions.

Here is the thing - they are down to 120k subcriptions now or somewhere around that number (which is not even close to there original numbers) and it is steadily on the decline. My outlook on it is this, they are once again rushing an expansion out to beat the holidays in hopes of extra sales and all this is going to do is produce a shitty game. I personally am in EoF beta and I can tell you that with less then 1 month to go if it were released today I would quit. The raiding so far is that bad because they have made this game so orientated around the solo or the grp player.

They may aswell try something new in hopes to spark interest again. If you plan to argue that the game is interesting then I can only tell you that people want to explore ALL content of a game. I have nothing against family guilds but expansions shouldn't be geared around them.

And a good majority of them are total newbs who will cancel soon enough from boredom. I would actually like to find out where this figure came from though, or a depiction of the subscription rate since November last year.

The new people will quit I agree and the high end raiders will to. That is why to me trying something new could spark some interest from people who quit. When I say new I dont meant a 4th combat revamp either. Honestly though, what do they have to lose in trying something like this?
