I don't have any stake in fishing - I don't have the skill, nor have I ever fished - but AFK fishers are the perfect example of why instancing content like this and balancing it around being instanced is the way to go.

We fought for a couple minutes in Purgatory last night. I literally kept hitting parry (fend) the entire fight due to lacking the trigger line (I'd not fought a Zealot yet), meaning I was doing literally nothing to you. Regardless, you kep…
I'd have no issue if the gods actually added to the script. Telling people to stop shouting or be zapped/eaten isn't adding to that script, it's just telling people to shut up and stop what they're doing, especially when it's their sole purpose for …
Full membership should remain at rank 2. People should not have to jump through hoops for class, that should remain something people do for their own enjoyment.
I also don't know how to vote. The current structure certainly has its flaws, but I haven't seen anything visibly attempted with it outside of guilds being deleted and created and then dropped half-finished into the game. I definitely see the issue …
I know that we can filter design lists with the use of tags, but is there any chance DESIGN LIST could get a sorting system similar to INVCAT? With it, I'd be able to create a category, filter designs into that category, and then DESIGN LIST and hav…
I'd like to delete it, but that's because I'm of the opinion that obfuscating this sort of information only serves to stifle conflict and benefit people who actively don't want to engage with the game, which is bad for the overall health of the game…
I have to admit, I'm not really a huge fan of having to go out of my way to RP something I'm not too terribly interested/invested in in order to gain a mechanical benefit - a mechanical benefit that ends up mattering in PvP. Speaking from experience…
I'm with you guys on that one. I'm still baffled that they didn't make it so only a single venom rag was needed and applying a venom caused it to go from FC > rag > weapon and then leave the rag clean again. With a decay time of 10 to 15 days,…
The Dominion acting as a guild-like structure with the Houses becoming transient factions within the Dominion is a neat idea, especially if the Primus is given the ability to create and dismantle said Houses. The problem ultimately becomes someone s…
The skills are more alike now that Leer exists, yes. This was not the case previously when only Wisp existed, which is the state from which I was answering Keroc's question. I don't appreciate claims of being disingenuousness when counterarguments t…
There's an entrenched playerbase that's comfortable with the current status quo and can't be replaced, at least not easily or on any meaningful scale. Any player who rocks the boat or fights against the status quo puts themselves at risk of being sh…

From my perspective, the initial dislike for Wisp had more to do with the fact that there simply was no counterplay, though there was some disgust that it had been given to a class that absolutely didn't need it. The onus was on a single s…
Since no top-down analysis seems forthcoming, I'll toss in my perspective.
Tether-locking guilds to cities (and the intial tether-lock, in all honesty) was, ultimately, another bandaid to an aging and ailing system. That's been a shortcom…
I'm confused, what's to be peeved about here? What's the problem? There are literal messages warning of an impending major foci and those tells are from an OOC combat clan.

Most non-vampire players don't care about vampire's roles in BL, especially since the incredibly stale vampire elitism RP has done nothing significant for BL or its orgs in years and years.
Primus can also vote in House elections and has the ability to exile anyone in the Dominion, leading to a pretty significant malus (think Duiran controlling concoctions back in the day). I don't know if the exile power can be used on HLs, but I woul…
