Subject: Re: [eqbards] Lullaby Update - looking real bad


Mabey I am being overly cynical but...

Hooray for you.
Honestly..EQ is boring.
I dont want it to be, but it is.

Im tired of logging on and doing nothing for 2 hours because there are 100
people in a zone and
I dont feel like spending an hour walking to the next appropriate zone ( and
I will NEVER waste
15pp just to be teleported...im cleap).

I am also tired of all the anger and dissapointment I feel towards Verant.
Lets face it...those bozos have done some laughably stupid things, not only
to
bards, but to a whole slew of classes.

If you keep on playing, what else is there to do?
It only gets worse, and one you hit the big 60 and
have all the best gear, will it have been worth it?

I doubt it. Save your money and your sanity.

Log out permanetly..:)
