Heh if you wanna talk design, DRG's problem was that wyverns could be one-shot by getting sneezed on by mobs and while palty, it was damage that went to the DRG's overall DPS (not mentioning Call Wyvern was their 2-hour ability...). The main catalyst of the "DRG is gimp" thing was the pentathrust nerf.
People are gearchecking because they are building a group to run that story mode dungeon as fast as they can.
Doesn't make it any less ludicrous. You're starting to get people creeping on to level cap and they're going to want to do CM so they can continue with the main storyline, and other players on their servers (also, don't think the issues are server-exclusive; dury finder is also seeing drama over it) who should at least show some patience aren't helping them. The whole thing defeats the purpose of the "community" we're supposed to be building if we can't even work with the up and coming players to get them through the main story.

The funny part is that putting allaghan tomes in CM was most likely a way to get players who are gearing up for CoB/CT to join groups that may have people who are still working their way towards the end of the main story..
