why am i exaclty the same as 90% of the guardians?

<DIV>Looks like cookie cutter toons is all SOE can make.  Why do i look exaclty the same as 90% of t6 plate tanks, why do i have exaclty the same stats as 90% of t6 plate tanks, whay are all of my skills pretty much indentical to all t6 guardians.  They have remove all the real descision making from the game, the only descisions left are the basic ones that we dont really think about by the time we hit 50+ (or earlier), positioning, pulling etc...  The only descision we seem to have left is do we hit guardian sphere or not.  Personal skill is reduced bascilly because you dont have many descisions to make, the tank role has been dumb down way to much for my liking and we have no way to make ourselves <STRONG>different</STRONG> or better other than to mine for adpets 3's.  AA's will help to create a unique toon but until then (if they ever happen) its boring boring boriing unfortunately.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Take care</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Phlebas 55 Guard - retired</DIV> <DIV>Runnyeye </DIV>

<P>If anyone who plays EQ2 thinks that their char is going to be markedly different from most of the other chars of the same class are very sadly mistaken.</P> <P>If you want visible diversity, I seriously suggest playing another game. That is the honest truth.</P>

Personal Skill will always play a huge roll. It can easily be seen when fighting some of the harder raid encounters. Good players will significantly stand out from bad players even if they are of the same class.But - it would be nice if there were more ways to make our actual "characters" more unqiue from another of the same class (such as a more diverse trait/training system).<div></div>

Yea, so far all of the classes are basically cookie cutter, all will look the same with the same gear and stats.  But as it was mentioned, that personal skill will make you stand out a lot more.  That's why some people only group with certain people or guilds only group with guildmates.  Once you find those effective players the game is pretty much a breeze.. it's just finding them first.
