> all the good players already know where the wands are, and all the bad ones have to explore to find them

Maybe this means I'm not among the "good players", but I don't have a list (though it was offered). I know where a few wands are just from tailing enemy mages, but whenever I play a mage those never seem to be my spots. The few mages I've played post-change never found a single sleek wand. I just deleted once I got to a high enough level that PK became unduly frustrating w/o barrier.
