Aoc handled that pretty nicely. Click the rest button and you're ready to go in 2 seconds max.

I prolly should have done that but i was so pissed off that i wanted nothing to do with SoE. In fact, i nagged the wife so much that she quit EQ cause it was associated with SoE.

NGE/CU!!! Worst things to ever happen to a game.

WoW- BC is bad but not as bad imo...

1. Mana whore characters
2. Named monster kill stealing (and waiting for respawns)
3. No in-game maps
4. Players who buy gold and/or farmers in-game

THIS!

I can't tell you how many monsters I trained in FFXI to screw over gold farmers or how many hours I ganked farmers in Tyr's Hand on WoW. Never got a chance to do anything about it in GW and never noticed them in DAoC.

gill/gold farmers- check
named kill stealers- check
LFG or i cant do anything tonight- check
....oh ya, no f*%$ing jump button?!?!-check

EG, druids and pallys replacing Priests as end game healers, and priests respeccing shadow.
wtf, a priest has gotta heal.

Burning Crusade was a saint for feral druids as the release brought a whole new line of armor and items made specifically for them (not to mention the their skill tree getting redone). I could hold aggro better than any other warrior I'd grouped with and could even solo every non-boss elite my level + . Think about it; if played properly you have a tank that can fully heal himself, resurrect players, and still take more damage than most warriors out there. Not to mention there skills are both Tank friendly and PVP friendly (where as most Protection spec Warriors don't even bother with PVP).

I know there's people out there that give Feral Druids a bad name but don't be so quick to judge them all. As a person that's played both a Tanking Druid and a Shadow Priest to level 70... stop 'hatin' on the people that have discovered a unique way to play their characters We get enough as it is.

I played a Feral Druid in WoW, and one thing I can say that I hated was people assuming that I could do more than one job at a time or bringing me in for a job that I was extremely unsuited for spec-wise and equipment-wise.

For instance, being invited to a group for an instance which comprised of a Mage, Warlock, and two Rogues. Upon asking "Who's tanking?" I was answered "You." When I asked "And then who's healing?" I was told, "Man, you're a Druid. You'll do both."

Yes. Yes, I'll just go and pull some of those Dire Bear form heals out of my ass now and we'll all be happy.

And another time I asked to join an instance and the leader asked me what spec I was. Fair enough. I told him feral. He then invites me and announces to his group that they now have a healer. And I don't have time to get the few pieces of healing gear I have handy from storage because we're all at the entrance and the others just can't wait five minutes for me to go get it. And then they complain when I run out of mana after two fights because I have to heal twice for what a decent Priest could do with one.

My problem isn't that hybrids weren't some do it all wonders, I realize that they're only suited for what they spec.
But if you can have a tank that's better than a warrior one second, then respecc and regear and have a nice healer the next, somethings wrong in my opinion.
I know one could raise the point "what about warriors rolling fury and then out damaging rouges?"
That's also wrong! One should never be able to specc a class to a point where it looses all semblance with what it was supposed to be.
Now if there was some way that game devs could balance all of these different builds and enable each one to fill it's own niche, that would be great.
Fact of the matter is when you have a hybrid jumble like WoW, niches start to become contested, which means that classes are forced into roles that, although they've always been able to specc, we're not intended to be main roles.

Hate that. "Pfff, shadow preists cant heal for shit. We'll get the bear to do it." T_T

A game engine so un-optimized, that my computer lags to hell and back and also a incomplete game. No end game content that is not broken is also a killer for me. I'm looking at you AoC!
