Subject: RE: [eqbards] Changes on Test for all Classes.


Well first of all, I don't want to point fingers or anything either but have
you tried to kill these velious mobs? Sure FoH and AL (that sploiting
Shada!) have found ways to kill these mobs with less people, but I would
have to say the majority of guilds have not.

Believe me the challenge is NOT gone when it still takes a guild of 50
people with many Donals' 6 hours to kill two dragons. Its not as "heat and
stir" as you seem to think. Can't even begin to tell you the hours we've
spent haha. It takes a cleric 30 seconds to cast his bp - its not like its
instantaneous.

Yes I believe I said I DID read the whole post. I know they will plan to
downlevel the mobs. I just hope they actually do it. It has nothing to do
with loot but everything to do with conquoring challenges. I just like the
challenges to be fair.

Then again, maybe Paradigm sucks and we have no strategy, dunno.
