But I don't like taking one or two combinations that happen to excel at exploration, just for the sole purpose of exploration. I like my characters to be able to do a lot of things. I enjoy the challenges of exploring with a multitude of class and race combinations.

The aforementioned afflictions are just things I have noticed. And I just happened to mention, whimsically, that these afflications are becoming far more prevelent in the new era, than in past times. This is a result of coders and builders wanting to make NPC's "smarter." All I am saying is, I happen to think there is becoming too many of these situations where particular race and class combinations simply cannot compete because of some very (more) common afflictions.

I understand quite well, as I've been playing for nearly a decade, that certain classes do certain things better than others. I'm not a retard. And that wasn't even close to the point of my post. But you've managed to try to turn it into the point. Your reading comprehension on this one is slightly off.
