yeah tell me about it... some level 3x was farming in AEW... he died and asked for REV!!!!

i'm usually a nice cleric but i cant help but say "i dont think u belong here" and ignored him... he got revived by someone else in the end... which i dont care and hv no control of anyway... but OMG! we really dont want 80% of the population in 2 maps...

Ancient Elvin Woods is supposed to be for 6x levels.

Forest of Slumber is supposed to be for 7x levels.

Eventhough the mobs are lvl 6x, 7x, even with normal gear I find that we dont hv much trouble duoing mobs 10-15 levels above us... hence to accomodate the lvl 79, they need maps that goes up to lvl 9x...

BR and FM will be those maps... and I sure as hell hope that they'll put some kind of cap on them, otherwise you'll have lvl 3x and 4x in those areas too!

well just like the 1 exp for mobs 30 levels above u.. they should lock it so u cant get into a map thats 30 levels above u too~

no point anyway

Locking the maps 3x+ you is the best idea really.
People want to be like the 5x and 6x that they see running around in like SoG, and other noob places... so they think that if they get an Uruga scroll, and warp there, they're going to find someone to plvl them.

I hate that... minus the stupid 3x and 4x in AEW and FoS, and you have the perfect land where we can all grind, and not have to "claim" grind spots for AoE if we choose to do so.

Having a team of 5 people all 3x and 4x to kill a single red trumpy is quite stupid, and pointless...

if they would take that same party, and move it to like CP or SEG, they would kill faster, and the exp/hour would be so much better...

I hate nubs in high lvl areas.

And I'm open about it.

I have noticed a massive influx of early 6x mages. X_X

This is not the solution to the problem but...

Have you guys tried Elf Knight Demons in CP2? My guildie and his healbot (he has a laptop that runs Fiesta and whenever he needs a heal, he'll just use his laptop to heal his tank) use the XP boost and always go to Elf Knight Demons and they say that's pretty good XP. But they are a fighter-cleric combo and he has all +9s so I'm not sure how effective that would be for mage.

I do know the stuff in the battleground hits him for like... 30s... and he does like 20 at a time by himself....

As for parties ...

I like to only party with people that I know. I think it was shadow_shot that started his thread of archer help in the outspark forums? Can't remember @__@ I asked him if I should accept pick up parties or not, and he said yes. I told him that I normally only solo/party with friends/guildies, and he said that if you party more, people that were once just "pick up groups" have now become "friends." And I reasoned that he was right. However, I don't want to party. At times, I have to irregularly log off without warning. I'm an archer, so that's not bad, but what if I was the tank? The cleric? Ouch >3<

I would rather solo than let someone else down.

And there are also a group of friends that always solo.
I don't understand why you worry about it Yosei. They are a group of friends - they party, because they're friends. They probably understand each other more than other people do, and when one of them makes a mistake it's easy to trust why they did it and forgive them. With pick up groups, it's harder to trust and harder to understand their grinding patterns and habits. There's a reason why they have formed their own "posse."

If someone accepts me into a party, alright =) Thank you, and I'll try my best to DD/tank! But if no one offers, alright then, I'll go back to soloing. I don't have a permanent party right now, not even someone to duo with. I know that soloing is impractical at your level, duo's aren't bad. And I guess you'll just have to be lucky and shout for a party or meet up with another lonely person, then you'll have a group back again.

So I don't blame people for having a group they constantly grind with. Are you going to hate them because they have friends?

As for Inferno:

Wow @__@
Mages were always pretty impressive in my eyes, it's amazing now that they can be called useless when they don't have one skill. I guess just keep pounding away at it /shrug. There HAS to be someone that will party even if you don't have inferno xD
