Ohh, didn't fit YOUR view did it? for many crafters it does and did, and no from a questers view of things I will not skip anything if I was to do the leveling again... But hey it's all about YOU and your vision, just remember that the MMO community has changed a lot in the last 5-10 years. The reason it worked pre-gore was just one thing, not the gear or anything, it was the players and the population. In fact GORE is now completely irrelevant, so are all the slots on the char page for gear......
But goodbye, will be my last post here for a looong while.
