This isn't an attack against younger people, however look at the
average age of druids/necros. Druids/Necros are two of the most
powerful solo'ing classes in the game (the powerleveler's dream
if you will). It's only fitting that those immature very young
powergaming types, a stereotype of both classes mind you, would
whine much like a child who just had his lollipop taken from him.

Younger people (< 16 yr old) need and want attention, and in EQ
the majority of the attention comes when you are powerful (with
items or level). I think both these classes represent the power
of the game to those people. Just my take on it, and this clearly
doesn't fit all the players, as I know we have 12 yr old Bards and
I know some 30 yr old Necros.

Harmonic.
