I mean it.
BTW, EULA means "End User Liscence Agreement" this ammounts to a contract. That you sign, -every- time you log in. You should really read it.
I'm too tired to sit here and babysit anylonger.
The patch is going in.
Learn to deal or get out. (I suggest learning to deal, it will not be so horrific as most seem to think)
On creating Perfect PvP character
Some people seem to think that the IPR points will create God PvP characters because players will move points out of non-Combat or PvP related skills into the ones that most help PvP.
First, after the temporary period where you get the free 90 IPR points, you will not have that many points to play with. A player couldn't go adventuring one day, then switch up IP distribution to PvP another, then switch back to go adventuring again.
Second, If a player wants to totally customize their character to PvP then so be it. They will gimp their character in other areas. Which is fair and in the end, good for the game. Diversity is good after all.
Third, Some people seem to complain that the players that have more time to play the game will be more powerful because they can have multiple characters and super specialize each of them. To that I once again say "So what"
I am all for the OE changes, but the reason for the changes is not to penalize players that know the game better or have more time to play. The reason for the OE changes is to aid in balancing the professions and the game, and to also give professions their identities back.
If a player player wants to level one character purely for trade skills, another for doing missions and a third for PvP, then that is just about the best possible way to handle the fact that players don't all have the same amount of time that they can devote to the game but all must play in the same world.

What the hell does the EULA have to do with providing feedback on a proposed patch?
I don't think many people have as big a problem with something being done about OE'ing as they have a problem with potential holes in the proposed method.
That's why people are 'complaining', because we'd rather talk it out and find a good solution now than have it end up on the servers in a mess and have to wait for it to be fix retroactively.
Re: a very good point on MA attacks.

I Lose the following specials if debuffed by a trader, period, because these are ALL unique items, i can't carry a lower ql one to use. Because i don't me the req i can't use the attack period, while this will not effect all MA specials, it will affect the following:
1) attack of snake ( based on ma skill )
2) Shen ( ma and dimach based )
3) Bright, Blue, Cloudless Sky ( Ma and Dimach based )
4) Flower of Life ( MA, Parry and first aid )
However, MA's currenlty are forcered to live with 100% special attack shutdown from debuffs, how about some scaled damage on Shen :p It's only really for PvP any how... scale the damage on it so 3 of use and hit one trader and live post 14.2 >)
Oh.. point: Zenister, you're under 93 with that MA aren't you :) I know because I KNOW where the wall is for that profession, I've tried on two sperate charaters to get over it wihtout over equiping my MA, and in the end, you have to to solo.
The notion of forcing others to make the same decisions we choose to make for ourselves reeks of petty thought, and jealiousy. Let others excel, what they do is not important to me. What *I* do should be my ( and i'm opinion others ) primary focus. Not telling others how to behave.
Next point, untill you have walked a mile in someone else shoes, dont' presume to tell them they must suck at building thier character. ( para phrasing you ). You just don't know.
May you reep what you sow.
Snicker. Understood. However, I am a doc. A nanomage MA doc and My main point is: You think I don't suffer from the huge crying that everyone is doing about the possibility of trader debuffs? NT and Docs get hit HARD with those, and frnkly ALWAYS HAVE. Now the playfield will be evened out. Those debuffs will actually have an even effect on the whole player base, as they should. IMHO OEin has allowed people to bypass many important parts of the game, including these specific debuffs. I have xtra shortcut menus set up specificially for trader hits, since I cast at so many levels lower at that point. The MA wall at 93? No clue, I'm a 110 doc that is still teaming and soloing happily.
You're statement scares me: "The notion of forcing others to make the same decisions we choose to make for ourselves reeks of petty thought, and jealiousy. Let others excel, what they do is not important to me. What *I* do should be my ( and i'm opinion others ) primary focus. Not telling others how to behave."
I'm not real sure how you can apply such a statement directly to me. Where did I indicate a desire to force others to make the same decisions I made? Where did I act jealous? Why do you accuse me of petty thought? Did I tell you how to behave? Why so rude?
What I HAVE done, and will continue to do, is indicate that I see relief in the fact the the field will be narrowed, and your dmg output/etc will be based on YOUR skills rather than a trader's past buff on you to put the ql200 uber-gun in yer hand. MAs of ALL people should be happy about this.
What a load of crap..get real pot heads
Lets see....wep users get a 20% reduction in their main form of dmg and I as an engineer that cant hit crap with my gun looses my only real form of protection, damage and worth because my pet wont respond at all?..this is crap. This is simply nano/eng hating!! We already have lil chance in PVP now your cutting our guts out and laughing at us with this idiots patch? Give up the weed morons you have had enough. Looks like its time to delete this game from my computer again and this time throw away the CD!
The only fair way to do this is to make the pet have the same penalties as if it was a gun or wep... Total loss of control?? Plain stupidity! I am far out damaged (me and pet combined) by all but one class now and your telling me I am to be nothing more than a freaking target? Nerf the freaking traders debuffs and solve this problem instead of screwing up another class. I already cant play my agent because of stupidity and nerfs such as this.
14.2 Keeps Looking Better!!!
I am even more excited to see 14.2 go live after reading this article!! Keep up the great work!
