#38148, "Preps are annoying to get"
|
>1: The success ratio of poisoner/trapper or any combination >of is pretty limited. ... >3: I like the uniquenesses of the class path. >4: I can't help but think this is the pussification of CF. >Are people seriously calling the thief class griefers?
Totally agree. poison and traps really aren't that deadly except in very specific situations. But I think you're overlooking two important aspects of what people are saying.
First, the problem isn't that the poison thieves are too deadly overal. The problem that started this thread is that if you get affected by certain abilities you don't get to have any fun until it wears off. Which is fine if the length of the affect isn't that long, but who wants to spend 20-30 minutes sweet fuc-all. If your RP is highly talky I guess you can spend that time tells to people from your hidey hole, but otherwise you may as well just walk away and do something else.
As for thieves that steal a lot of stuff I think what you're seeing isn't the pussification of CF but the prepification of CF. A prep bag represents over an hour of work and if you want to compete with the best players you have to prep too. I bet that if you could buy sanc potions and haste potions in galadon then people would be a lot less butthurt about thieves stealing their bags. But as it is, it really is kind of a griefy move to steal and sacrifice an item that is perceived as critical to success and takes an hour to get.
You're also seeing an aging of CF I think. I've recently been able to spend more time playing, but for years I wouldn't get more than an hour at a time a few days a week. The less time people have to play, the less easy it is to shrug off an hour's wasted time.
