So, everyone is taking an ass whipping, Most servers probably feel it less than we do however due to the nature of them: Short time at low levels, extreme gear, etc.
See, that's the problem. Something IS out of whack.

Saying "everyone is taking an ass whipping" doesn't really do much for us melees - who are the one's it actually makes a difference for.

I'm surprised there is even a warrior on the server right now - caster pets can do more damage and tank/taunt better. Melee classes are nothing more than a liability to groups on this server. It's a shame really.

EDIT:

Just to add something; now I may be wrong, but you guys were pretty sure your hit rate was on par with EQEMU as well, but upon parsing, obviously realized it wasn't and a change was made. Which is good.

The real issue here is, nobody seems to care about melee classes on this server. There have been SO MANY threads, petitions, bug reports and requests on this issue (and endurance), and we, the community, have heard nothing from you guys. Aeolwind, I have to give you credit for being there for player hit rates on the forums earlier, and even for at least responding now. But, other than this - it's been absolutely silent, which is the worst possible thing you guys could do.

This line of thinking would work IF this server was the same as other EQEMU servers. As it stands though, this server IS NOT the same. We DO have low levels, classic gear and it takes us more than 1 day to level from 1 - 50. Honestly, BECAUSE this server is not the same as other EQEMU servers should be the EXACT reason you guys don't just flock to the stock emu code for everything. At least listen to your playerbase on these issues and respond to them, whether for good or bad.
