Okiura,

You seem to be a good page when it comes to your interest in the DoH. It's nice to see more people defending it as a set of stand alone classes, rather than a flimsy source of items like in a lot of MMOs.

As far as the 1.20 chances coming are concerned, consider looking over what I've said in the update of my thread for some sense of possible comfort. Otherwise, I do have a considerable proposition towards a compromise between what we have now and what Yoshida will be doing - as well as a much more interesting, in my opinion, ultimate ideal goal for it.

I'm not quite sure if you're aware of what is being changed in 1.20, but it sounds to me like it alone would please you. That's where my "update" portion comes to play, making sense of a silly compromise to those of us who aren't hating the current system. Either way, HQing will actually make a difference in 1.20, and be worth doing, just a seperate concern.
