> And I am Not happy about the fact that I cried (a 24 year old man) Or about what made me cry. > I log on 5 hours ago, with a certain spell at 94. > After 3 hours of spamm I have it at 97...it is SHOOTING up amazingly fast (comparitavely) and I am Psyched at perfecting this before long. A Repop happens, and for some FUCKED UP REASON. I use 2. targetting ONCE. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER USED IT WITH MY PAST FIVE CHARACTERS. And you know what....a repop has happened that I didnt even notice. BAM. The spell is at 92. > I cried.(ok, I have been up for 30 hours, that might have helped) I weeped like a chickie. > My friends will be suprised to hear I did not delete.(but even *I* wont waste near 200 hours of spamm). I was tempted though. > I was even brave enough to stay an extra 2 hours...getting it back up to 93.... > But I lost heart. I quit out. Six hours of spamm on mobs to LOSE a %...I will probably not play again for a week. > The Ironic thing? There was a guy on the forum complaining about this very thing a long while back, and I told him all the logical reasons for it. > doesnt seem so logical now that I am on this end. When spells are taking SO long to perfect. And you have to worry about pk and all that and ranking and all...It just seems a little steep to give a player a 4+ hour penalty, just for a mistake. I understand that they do not want people practicing targeted spells safe in their guild on themselves. I understand how it makes it more interesting to have to spend 200 hours spamming on mobs having to watch over your back (where;who pk) instead. > But if they want to enforce that...why not make those spells like dirt kick (Try dirting yourself, the skill doesnt work, it won't let you). Instead of basically saying "Fuck you, do the last 4+ hours of mindless spamm over again, Moron." >
