It's not really LOL at all when applied properly. There are NMs in the expansion areas that are immune to almost everything, but GEO efffects work on them. Geo Gravity works on everything, where the actual spell is resisted by almost everything these days. Yes, it's not as easy to use, but it's better than not being able to have it at all.

But I am getting the feeling that (some, not all) people are using it as an excuse. I certainly know a fair few people who don't complain of motion sickness yet make excuses to not invite them...
