as i said before, a couple months into the game, this experience loss was
reduced by quite a bit. above level 30, i would lose anywhere from 1/2 to
1/4 what i used to. that to me is more a time saver than running across a
few zones. you can have one or the other, bind or MUCH less experience
loss. i am happy with what they did. i can't speak for everyone.

and the other classes also have many abilities that casters can not match.
it's a decision that has to be made by us all.
