It matters nothing, if hes in effecting it or not, they are still fucking up, and that in general says it all. Expansion=Good. Farming & raising monsters on your island=Bad. New Magic tank that will never replace Aegis PLD but tries to make up for it by killing off the rest of RDM=Bad. New AoE buffer using the idea of Sphere effects, so that the effects, or the buffer, can be killed by crazy AoE damage while keeping players buffed=Bad. Monster PvP=Bad. Everything else I saw about this expansion was either to vague for me to know what to expect, or was pointless enough I didn't think it important enough to commit to memory.

Yesterday I was happy, I admit, today, I am pissed, because I have been told as a RDM that they still arnt doing shit to help me out of being in the spot I'm in, and gave me no reason to think I am, rather, they keep digging my grave deeper and deeper in the ground.
