That kind of shows how incompetent the devs are then, doesn't it?
It took them until Dragons of Norrath to figure that out?!

IIRC there was something completely broken about Shamans for the first 6-9 months. I think it was Alchemy, maybe it never succeeded or never gave skill-ups. The devs insisted it wasn't broken, because whenever they did their testing, they used dev tools that created mid-level shamans that skipped over whatever mechanism caused the bug. If a single member of the dev team had leveled a shaman up naturally the bug would have been obvious.
Anyone else remember this? I just found a newsgroup post complaining about it:

Aside from the potions, Alchemy is broken for the basic reason that you
*can't train* the skill. It's permanently stuck at zero due to a bug (trade
skills can't be trained past 21- and alchemy is obtained at 25, which means
if you could put a point in it, you'd train it past the limit. Ergo, no one
can make the skill go up.) The result is that making any potion except one
is equivalent to trying to make banded with a zero skill- not happening.
