I wonder, if you spend 30 days (I know you mean IN GAME days), how much of that was grinding? I hear a lot of complaining from basically people that rushed, yes I mean rushed, through a content rich game just so they could be the first uber l33t lvl 50 whatever on their server or in their guild, and now [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] and moan that they don't have anything to do. They say that the game is not fun at 50, and that they aren't the statisticaly best person in the world, and blah blah blah.
I DO understand and agree that some spell progressions need fixing, and there are some balance issues, especially with cost of "ranger fuel" but please. It's taken me almost 30 in game days, and I am only lvl 28. I have spent a LOT of time doing quests, exploring, enjoying the lag jump era while it lasted and cruising the rooftops, this is not a numbers game of highest DPS wins. Could there be a little more flavor? Sure, and there are CONSTRUCTIVE threads on this topic.
Basically, you (general point towards whinny lvl 50 anyones, not the OP) need to to stop and smell the roses, find other things to do, and most of all STOP COMPLAINING SO DAMNED MUCH. If you REALLY think this or that class sux, or is broken, then why did it take you till lvl 50 to figure that out? My guess is you actually like the class, just want things changed, so say that, not that this class blows chunks, and the devs are a pack of inbred monkeys for doing things they way they did etc. If you really hate something, you leave. Bad movie? you leave. Bad restaurant? you leave. Bad romance? you leave. Bad class? Fill in the blank.

- He's not complaining that he's got nothing to do, just that he has very little to contribute when it comes to those things. And just because some people prefer end game raiding over jumping across rooftops doesn't mean they are enjoying the the game any less than you... Playstyle isn't the point of this thread... a broken class is. Please don't try to derail the topic as it's rather important.. Oh, and if jumping from rooftop to rooftop is your thing, try CoH.

- Noone is trying to "win" at DPS... the fact is we have to pay a ton of cash while using broken skills to do dps equal to or less than our pred counterpats. This isn't right and needs fixing...

- It took till lvl 50 because the class isn't broken until 40+...

- If the people who are already there don't complain... you'll have to go through the same thing when you level up. So instead of telling them to slow down and shut up, thank them for helping to fix your game.
