See, this is much more reasonable.
I'm wondering why they're focusing so much on attack speed with rangers. How fast do they want to be? Archer machine guns are not something I want to be encountering on the battlefield. I don't know exactly how slow their attack is, but I have a feeling they would get much more accomplished by simply increasing damage or decreasing delays in skills rather than trying to speed their attacks up.
The bot issue with NCsoft continues to be disconcerting. I mean, this is seriously potentially game killing and should be taken way more seriously. Their first mistake was using loving GameGuard to "protect" their game. That program causes more conflicts on legitimate users than I have ever seen before, and it's "carbon copy protection" which means not only is it extremely well known to botters/exploiters, but they have had extensive previous experience in bypassing it entirely. The fact that GameGuard is the only thing they put in place is a complete joke and a slap in the face right away. The fact that blatant and obvious bots are not being banned is still a complete mystery. It's to a point where nothing short of complete apathy to the situation to full on cooperation with the bots could explain how horribly lax they've been in all of their games. A company should not be WELL KNOWN FOR BOTS IN THEIR MMO. People bailed out of Lineage 2 because of it, and people are not going to put up with this crap once again in a new game. Aion may very well fail for no other reason than bots completely devastating the game and driving away the community.
As for the Socs, I just see it as the WAR bright wizard issue all over again. "Oh no! Flavor of the month players don't have a super over powered class to play anymore! QQQQQQQ"
