That's too sick for words.
Now we can expect manasong to be changed to be like Chains and have to be
refired every pulse.

Mana song is what makes us "balanced", unfortunately. Here's how much my
guild likes the Mana Song:

We're in Plane of Sky. We need Crowd Control, and only have one
Enchanter, so our level 57 Bard logs onto her friends account to play his
Enchanter. So I play her Bard. So my RL friend (a Cleric), logs
Kenross (52) onto his second computer, turns on Mana Song, and sets him
to /follow the Cleric. Kenross was in the pulling group, too, so he
actually got exp from it. With nobody running him. And not one person
raised even the smallest objection; this seemed perfectly acceptable.
We'll never get fixed if Mana Song is THAT in demand.

Meanwhile, I got to spend the entire day (16 hours) twisting 32 and 55,
to keep our only 96% rez Cleric, our two Enchanters, and our highest
Shaman pumped with Mana. Except during CR, when I got to sing the
same two songs for five Clerics. What fun. The only excitement came
when I got yelled at for not turning off 55 when the Enchanters wanted to
cast C2 on the party.

If I had a macro, I could have walked away and had a nap.

And what's with the Plane of Sky boss MOBs not dropping any loot?

Kenross Cantoforjado, 52 songs
