The fact that you know EXACTLY who I'm talking about and
EXACTLY the technique they are using to grief inexperienced
players is all the poof I need to validate what I've been
saying.

My god man, you guys have even created a meme now that gives
it a title.

The problem I had with my limited knowledge is that I could
find exactly one place where I could solo rank without getting
my ass kicked by mobs or taking 10 minutes to kill one (I
checked 5 or 6 places) so powering past them wasn't that easy.

Plus, one was 4 ranks below me and the other 8 above me.  I
was pretty much caught in the middle of two players who simply
wanted to massage their ego with easy kills.  

But I'm used to all of that and expect it.  What I didn't
fathom was just how easy it was for classes like that to have
an invis prep and therefore had no real reason to spam DI
preps. 

Escaping mages (except maybe necros) is not really that
difficult at low levels.  Plus, magic damage is nothing like
gear damage.  I can make a warrior and even with my pathetic
knowledge of gear, can be EVICERATE'ing most every hit by
level 5.  Whereas, a mage class might do that much damage with
one spell hit and even they have a spell cooldown and at low
levels burn out mana quick.  There is no such thing as + to
magic damage.  So a low level invis mage doesn't worry me that
much.  A low level invis warrior, that's insanely stupid.

Even an AP can't cast invis till level 9 and depending on race
will likely have a painful failure rate and eat a gob of mana
doing so.  That potion is level one and if it's like every
other potion I know of, it doesn't fail.
