Well thank God I have a horde of them stashed away that should last me until about this time next year.
Hey, Pielo Ashe M.D. is a shadowdancer, are they getting nerfed next?
Nestor M.D. is a pure cleric, I guess they are about to be nerfed.
Oh crap, Hunter Deathstriker M.D. is an AA, guess they're up for the nerf bat too.
It's been pretty obvious to most people that a lot of the recent changes are directed at M.D. regardless of what the DM's will say on the public boards.
It's borderline stupid that the DM's have to nerf M.D. because the rest of the server, and no disrespect to the rest of the server cause I like a lot of you guys, but because the rest of the server expects to be able to walk in and out of Garagoth at will with a relic solo when theres 8 of us on, and more of us that can show up in an instant.
It's funny how when it's even numbers it's always a good fight, but people won't show up en masse unless I myself hop in shout and offer a high level item to the 1st person to make it out alive.
Which brings me to another point.
It's funny how little DM presence there is lately (lately being the past few months), and how the top DM's have lost interest in the server. I mean really when I joined the server originally half the fun was seeing all the stuff about Primus and Leona, you could count on it every Friday night, having War Machines in every faction city.
But lately (lately being the past few months, it's mostly ME shouting stuff and attempting to put events together. Giving away my own stash of items just to get people together.
Lets not even bring in IRC "oOOooOOOoo? Are we actually talking about NWN??1?"
So heres a ton of disinterested DMs breaking out the nerf bat because they refuse to look at the real issues of people not having any incentive to work together, the fact that no matter how bad you nerf PM's if theres 8 of us and one raider they are toast, the fact that now if theres 15 people on the server you can count on at least 6 being M.D. (if not more) and you're messing with a large part of your population, oh and the big one...
you guys will all like this...
There is no "PM bandwagon"
There IS an M.D. bandwagon.
Not because of PM's. Most of us don't really use em. They make terrible defenders (but excellent raiders depending what you're up against). Because we're a great big guild with members from all over the world and we use Ventrilo for voice communication so we get all personal and get to know each other. People like that. It's fun. We're not a bandwagon, we're a community. Voice communication is why M.D. is so big and organized and dominant, not PM's.
I'd LOVE to talk to a bunch of you guys. And I know theres some of you who'd be chomping at the bit to say a few words to me. Voice communication people, thats where it's at. We've had it from day one and I've told a bunch of you about it, now I'm posting it public for those that dont know.
So anyway since we all hate rants on forums, let me wrap it up with the main points.
#1. Theres a change log. It'd be nice if you used it.
#2. You can nerf the game all u want, you can't nerf organization and numbers, we're gonna dominate your little server till the cows come home anyways
#3. A little more DM interaction would go a long way to keeping people interested instead of old Eb Grymm in shout having to give away my items and goad people into working together, even if I do love the tells I get when it's over saying how much fun everyone had
#4. If you're a disinterested DM, give up and make room for someone who cares
#5.

The end.
