60% of the last 20 battle grave yard posts were did not have detect invis prior to becoming an applicant. Closer to 75% of the last 40. Your suggested change is not nessecary.

None of which had detect invis, all had their kill sub 25. After Kerubiel I burned out on 3 consecutive villagers is why there is a gap.

Not that much has changed in tactics or player counts in the last 12 months, and I have been playing mages and been getting in fights with villager apps (initiated by them) since then.

And yes it does mess with mages fun stick. I don't want to have to worry about villager apps coming after me with detect invis past 25 with out earning it just like I dont want them to come after me before (earned by ranking to 25 with a kill).

Either way.. I am done wasting energy on this thread. I think it is evident an imm hasn't chimed in at this point no matter how loud you bitch. This is indicative there likely isn't an appetite for this change above. I would go back to my suggestion of stop wasting your energy here and go get your kill.
