sorry i don't see the connection. i advocate not letting melee/hybrid
classes to be able to bind, making the game harder. how does that make it
easier to "win" or have anything to do with what you said?
no one likes dying, not just some folks. that's the point, it is bad to
die. if there were no consequences, there would be no challenge. is this
what you are referring to, my point of the game being a challenge? this has
nothing to do with wanting to win, it has only to do with wanting to have
fun, and not being bored. it is after all a game, and if you are not having
fun, you shouldn't be playing.
