Medallions, coin nerf and lack of camps drove me off as well, that was just too much friction. I didn't mind the difficult economy but the coin nerf just made it more stressful than fun.
Correct, they don't but youd only have to worry about that with a bard in the group. Then id let them apply it and secondary haste while you pump damage.
There is some secondary mana regens that stack, unsure if the pet one is a secondary. The point being one mana regen is usually plenty. Double or tripling your damage group wide is hard to ignore.
The pipe bomb payoff is not worth the risk. I've been trying to get one of those on an APC for weeks and got an opportunity and it didn't even kill it.
The medallion issue is real, especially since they weight nothing. The loot whores are all about it. Decisions like this are making it difficult to play.
Correct, but you have to go enable that. I meant for the average player the default setup is not good enough. There is too much spam going through a single chat box to keep track of anything.
