Differing timezones, schedules and all that.</p>

Pure archer for rangers pleeeease. NO HUNTERS.</p><p>I got so frustrated when Dave kept saying people complained that the DF allowed people with really low AA's. That was one the lowest problems with the DF. Biggest one was the jacked up and unworkable groups it liked to put together.</p>

<p>The only thing I have to say about the GU is this:</p><p>For the love of everything sacred, please do not release this GU on April 17th if it is not ready. If there are still bugs that need fixing, FIX THEM before sending it live. I would be more than happy to wait a week (or longer) to have a fixed, polished GU than to have it released, followed by multiple days of "emergency downtime" to fix things that should have been taken care of before the release.</p><p>And for pity's sake, LISTEN to the feedback from the people on the test server. You finally got a good amount of people testing this time, but if their feedback and input are ignored, you won't fool them again.</p>

The worthless groups DF compiled was and still is where all the DF hate comes from, not AAs.</p>

A minimum AA <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WILL</span></strong> go a long way in balancing some of that mismatch, but there is no way AA can overcome a gear imbalance.  There is NO way that SOE can make a accruate class template w/o enticing or forcing class participation.  Server population is not the driving factor to Cross-server, participation drives that boat, becasue if nobody used the DF then it doesn't matter how many people you offer it too.</p>

<p>And finally we have it confirmed about the vet bonuses staying at L90 for now.</p>
