Now that would be one useful song. It would also eliminate the disadvantage
of not being able to bind.
I can fully understand why Verant and a lot of people on this list do not
think we need bind. From a class balancing point of view, I agree with this
view. But from a real world point of view, I really wish Verant would do
something that allowed non-casters to get bound in non-cities. That would
make me fat, dumb, and happy. I am a casual gamer who works full time and
has a wife who hates this game. If I'm lucky, I get to play for 1-2 hours a
night (once or twice during the week) and maybe 4-5 hours over the weekend.
When I do get to play, I want to spend my time adventuring, not running
across four zones to retrieve my corpse. I realize bards do this faster but
it can still take a long time if I am far away from a city. If I die, my EQ
session for that day (unless it is a weekend) is pretty much over. By the
time I get to my corspe, I usually have to log out for the night. If Verant
included a bind point somewhere in each zone where melee types could get
bound, I'm certain the other casual gamers who fall into my category sure
would be happy. IMO, I do not see how this would affect class balancing in
any way.
