Really was trying to get back interested, but my play times are so few and far between that I couldn't get a feel for anything politics wise, or events wise. Ended up just hunting wands sometimes and gearing people, which got super boring after a while.
Alligator makes me happy.
Croc is a calm "rant".

I could not take the front as the crocodile unless I had some powerhouse damage behind me. Nerf needed? Sure - but it went too far. I've already expressed my opinion on this and it was recognized, and then dismissed as incorrect - but I want to reiterate that the form is no longer a defensive form. It's not capable of standing in front unless you have power-damage players in your group - which as far as I understand was *not* the point of a defensive form.
