But I agree with the change. I've always hated AE groups. I was something like a level 75 or 80 ranger on live and they were do Earthshaker pulls and I wanted to vomit. It's so against the spirit of the game and so boring I can't contemplate WHY. Yes I know camping can be bad sometimes, depending on the situation, especially camping spawns alone, but at least you're doing something. In the best experience groups you're busy the whole time. In AE groups you just sit and chat. That's it. For me, Everquest was about the journey and about the "pulling" and "assisting" and "add!" and "need heal" and "run!" and so on. I guess some of you think tha'ts a treadmill, but I loved it.

Totally understandable. This is the problem with this change though. Its a change on an unpopular class (unpopular in that other people hate lvling in the same zone as that class) so no one's going to fight for this class to stay classic.
While everyone knows, before this patch, is how it's been forever, and in my opinion, how it should stay, everyone will turn the other cheek because it makes the leveling "in open field experience" with their classes easier. This is close to the equivalent of letting necros and mages keep their pet buffs. Necros and mages could still kill solo without their pet buffs, it just wouldn't be as fast. That would also be a HUGE change to game mechanics, like this change. (edited this paragraph: this change makes it longer for bards to kill, and also keeps mobs away from other players longer. the change doesnt give more players to mobs. The change makes it so that bards will have more mobs in their swarm/stack of mobs longer because they can only hit 25 at a time now, instead of their entire swarm)
I'm guessing the people making these changes hate bards too
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] They've done SOO well keeping every little thing classic up until this change. The players don't really care about the change because it makes things easier for them, so why the hell would anyone say anything bad about it? if biases didn't exist, the community would hate this change.
