"I think we're here because of EQ's memory."
That may be true for you, Stormlord, but not for me. I don't care about the nostalgia. I'm here because I like the combat pacing (button pushes per minute) and the dungeon design. Those two aspects of old EQ simply have not been improved upon in newer MMOG's. I suspect that or similar reasons hold true for most of the people here. Nostalgia may have peaked interest in the server, but the folks who stay do so because they genuinely like this game. Plenty of people who *only* wanted the nostalgia quit by level 10 or 15.
Non-solo melee classes undeniably have a hard time here relative to a populated server. However, you knew that at class creation. You're not going to see me complaining about Paladins' lack of raid utility--although I often did back in the day--for the same reason. The people playing here have the benefit of hindsight. We know what we're getting ourselves in to. Frankly, if I didn't have my wife with me, I'd likely have quit by now.
While that's an individual player's perspective, from a more global perspective the request for bind wound to work to 100% health seems reasonable. It would help out Warriors, Rogues, and Monks while harming nobody. Look at it this way folks, perhaps it'd stave off the introduction of two-boxing for some additional months. As such I support the motion.
