I KNOW why only some classes can bind - and I have no problem with that,
even though ours is not one of them, that is not the question.

What I want to know is WHY can't someone bind me anywhere THEY can be bound?

Yeah, yeah - I can run really fast - a trip across 5 zones shouldn't bother
me, well, guess what, it does.

I would do a WHOLE LOT MORE adventuring in places I'm very likely to die,
if I could have a friendly caster bind me in the entrance - one of the
things I hate worse about this - is having to spend an inordinate time
running (and zoning) back, just to reclaim my corpse.

The mage in the group - they bind themselves at the zone - they are back in
the action in 2 shakes.

Look at it this way.

When you res - naked and weaponless, not only is the trip back usually
alone, I consider it wasted time.

A mage dieing - they have their most powerful defense and offense with
them, their spells.

A monk dieing - they are their most powerful weapon, they have a better
chance.

A warrior dieing - they are really, really dependent on what's laying in
that husk a few zones away.

As usual, we are somewhere in between all the classes, yes we have our
songs - and we can outrun critters, but just our songs alone aren't likely
to be enough to take down anything powerful enough to really want to molest
us.

Again, I don't mind so much not being able to bind MYSELF - but if that
magic user can bind HIMSELF there, why can't he bind me?
