1. What would you classify as an improvement? I see less downtime, more fighting and not having to gather wands all the time to be an improvement. It rewards those who wish to fight with more fighting ability.

2. This would be incorrect. I have in fact played a few mages and I did discover some wands here and there. Running back an forth across the map just to have enough wands for maybe an hours worth of play got old. Checking the same places over again with each mage gets old.

3. I know you didn't have a 3, but I do. It removes the possibility of wand locs being posted. Gives ample opportunity to everyone and not just the people with OOC lists. Don't kid yourself they exist everywhere.
