Yes... they should only make things better.. They should never fix, adjust or tweak anything broken or overpowered!

<DIV>If this is your idea of fixxing it then, you have some messed up ideas....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This game went from good to lame in one patch wtg devs...</DIV>

It's a farce for which I posted real figures to back it up in another thread. Not one of you people repeating this BS has even gone and investigated the prices and how much of an insult they are.

YEAH, its a shame they listened to all our CONCERNS and fixed duo and solo play, added new content, fixed bugs and gave us a major content patch It is really terribleWhat concerns? i didnt tell him too make our horses slower then Molases in 30 degree weather i can actually run faster then my horse on foot its not even counted as fluff any more and as for the solo and duo "Improvments" how are we supposed too do this if my stats have been cut in half and my HP and AC lowered?Yeah they did a great job with the solo things didnt they? I mean i would have atleast liked my Petrified Froglok eye too have worked but they didnt even do thatz

Crusader horses still give a 10% increase to speed. If you can run faster on foot, /bug it.

I logged in last night for the first time in a week and everywhere I went there were the same huge "soloers not welcome here" billboards that I saw the week before when I logged out in disgust because every quest mob I need is a "group" mob, dungeons I try to enter are "group only" and occasionally, I manage to spot a lone "solo" mob hanging around behind a  a camp of group mobs I can't get through to reach the solo mob. Sony went wrong by EVER desginating mobs as group or solo in the first place. This game will NEVER be solo friendly!!!</FONT></DIV></DIV>
