Looks like Trials of the Magians has taken full swing. And by "full swing", I mean "people obsessed over getting hundreds of kills of certain mob families".
What about me? Not really. I hated the quest for unlocking Dark Knight, so how do you think I feel about killing 400 mobs? Or 100 while there's a sandstorm? Of specific families that yield xp no less. Even worse, killing an NM 4 times over? Holy crap, I want nothing to do with that!
...Well, I'd better get used to it, 'cause now, people are everywhere mowing down those monsters. To make matters worse, we had a strong influx of adventurers from overseas, their lands having been decimated by some natural disaster. So yeah, we're back to the population from way back, which in itself isn't bad. But with the new system? People are stepping on each other's toes quite easily now.
I'm mostly disappointed because my "usual spot" is now hoarded because of the "kill 400 arcanas" quest. Yeah, I'm talking about my Ro'Maeve Fields of Valor quest. No way I can get those measly 6 kills anymore. It was hard enough already when there was a dozen people there, now imagine over 20! Nope, training won't work anymore, and apparently campaigning isn't a go either, as people want to get the highest ranks to be allowed to assault the ShadowLord himself.
So what's a Thief/Monk/Bard to do? Find another hunting grounds. And sadly, that other dozen regulars who did FoVs in competition with me will be searching for the same thing. Only one option seems to be made available for me.
I'm forced to train with Snuggleh. Right now, I'm working to help get his Dragoon in the higher levels. That should tide things a bit until more changes come, like that level cap increase. In so far, Level Sync seems to be the safest bet for statu quo.
