@Casuals , do you think the message has gotten through?

Who on Hydaelyn thinks that a 1 in 7 chance of a proc is actually worth going for?

I'd think it more likely that someone believes MP management is actually a thing in this game, and so they're saving the MP-expensive spells for dire moments and relying on the MP-cheap spells in the meantime. It's similar to tanks who save all their mitigations for bosses and not the trash mobs because they're used to games where all the hard hits come from the bosses.

Im not saying its worth it. It's absolute trash. The problem is how is a new player suppose to judge that at lv 30, when endgame is 100?

I'm saying the game tricks people, especially those who aren't good at numbers, into believing it is. And until they are corrected, its an issue. And of course, the "correction" received can seem harsh, as they were doing what the game told them to do.

Its just trash design the devs refuse to address.

I think you greatly overestimate the actual considerations that a lot of very casual players have when it comes to their toolkit. The freecure trap, while being a stupid design leftover from ARR era, is probably the least of their troubles, and I'm pretty convinced that most don't even have considered or even noticed that it can actually proc a free cure 2.

For those who don't, its an even bigger design issue. The devs have intentionally left a healing spell in the game that is worthless past cure 2. But Players, having used cure 1 up to that point ( and have to keep it on the bar for dungeon roulettes), are accustomed to it being the to go heal, so of course the spell is going to be clicked.

Again - just horrible design from the devs.
