/claps /applauds /all that sorta stuffEasy is definitely not good, challenging is fun, making fewer buttons to click can be good, so long as things don't get nerfed to badly. No I'm not gonna get out the dead ranger horse. Playing a fury having the new cure consolidation will be helpfull, as my hotbars are currently packed to the brim (6 active hotbars total, and i believe 2 spaces left between them. Here's to seeing what is about to take place next week.And great read Kiara (PS, Kith lotto jackpot will be mine!!*laughs evilly*)

/agreed to both articles and excellent read as always, Kiara.I especially agree about ease of use against just make things easier. Letting people making their custom UI is a good example of ease of use. Since people can make a UI to suit their needs without making the game easier.I don`t know if the new cure-all spell for priests will make it boring easy for the priests or not but I guess if it becomes too bad they can always change it later on, hopefully without hurting too many feelings while doing it.I also agree how it sucks to lose someone from the Everquest 2 team that we like. I would hate to see, for example, Domino go since she did a lot for tradeskills. But if she has a better opportunity elsewhere there is nothing we can do but wish her good luck and hope all the best for her.Hmmm... I guess that is all I have to say. Although ending this post like this feels incomplete. Ah, well. Such is life I guess.

<p><span style="color: #00ccff;">I'm a big fan of simplicity, feeling useful, and having fun.  It isn't a whole lot of fun sitting around and clicking the same three buttons over and over again.  It leads to ugly things like forum posting and movie watching during raids or groups.  Which eventually leads to the dark side and getting a reputation for posting instead of healing.  Poor Radar.  He still hasn't shaken it.</span></p><p>~~ Yes this makes games boring.  That's why I left City of Heroes.  It did not have as much powers(abilities) selection as EQ2 does, so I'm be yawning, and just poking the same 3 buttons all the time. ~~</p><p><span style="color: #00ffcc;">There's also the eternal argument of content.  Who gets to see what.  Why people feel cheated because they can't get to the big stuff that you have to be able to field four groups to smack around.  Why the people who put all that effort and time into the uber end game things get mad about... zzzzz.  Oh.  Sorry.</span></p><p>~~ This argument seems to come more from those who cannot give 4 hours or more a night to do a raid.  And yes, I do agree it is not right to give people who do not put the effort into raiding such difficult areas, such uber gear, SoE is trying to give equal type gear to soloers. ~~</p><p>For the comment about the cures, I am happy with such a change.  I have 5 cures (Arcane, Poison, Trauma, Elemental, and one that heals arcane/elemental/trauma I think) and with the extremely large amount of heals/buffs/Reactives/attacks that I need on my 6 hotbars, a bit of help goes a long way.</p>
