I don't know about others, but i'm personally starting to get sick of all
these measures that the immorts are taking to MAKE us group wheather we
want to or not. They took out sancs and wells, and this
made it hard enough to do things yourselves. AFter awhile some healers we
made and it made things a bit better, but even now i offer as much as 25k
i'm ignored for heals. These people want exp or both and refuse to heal m
other wise. Now where does that leave me? Means i HAVE to tug these peop
around because i have no choice. Sleeping for a half of an hour gives me
about 200 hp, which won't help much considering i have a max of about 600
I guess my point is i think that the mud should stop trying to make us
group. I myself and a loner and i like to do things on my own, with a hea
here and there. Now i help many people and i get nothing in return for mo
of it, and thats fine, but this is just starting to get on my nerves
and thought i'd voice my opionon:) Sorry to take your time.

There's lots of other ways to get healed besides asking healers for help.
Search around, there's several ways available for free.

ok, now that i read it. healing IS painfully slow, and is going to be
worse once trees go in, as i personally won't be able to use my spam gear.
my characters find it extremely hard to find healers, and mobs, items, etc
just don't cut it because they come far and few inbetween. The only viabl
means i see (ability to get heals pretty quickly) are those that rely on
spam eq for semi-surgeon, being a surgeon, being a spell slinger with medi
meditate, being able to root, or slugging 100 spr... there need be, i thin
some way to speed regen, or at least allow certain channels to be usable
while sleeping. maybe a dream channel.. i would even spend another prac to
speak while sleeping ;)

I agree with Faramir and it's not just getting a heal that's the prob.
There is not 1 type of of character who can get by without others help
whether it be for tform, preserve, praise (which shouldn't grant extra
rent or be lost completely fleeing from 1 lowly mob), or even learning
spell words at a low level. There's no way you can make a decent 3rd circl
mage without a lot of help. It's near impossible to obtain certain items
without help. You're not promoting grouping, you're enforcing it.

-grumble- I'm around to offer free heals ALL the time...your just not on
when I'm on...concerning spamming for eq, I used to be a char who could
operate and fight at the same time (with 60 perc tho), but I found
that having 80 perc helped me a LOT. So now I spam for operate gear.
Well, my point is that when the trees come in, the number of surgeons will
drop by a lot i think, because you wouldn't be able to spam anymore.
Unless surgeons are given some kind of skill that will help by a lot,
(some ideas for that "kind of skill": less laggy entrance, better first ai
for people with 50 mind/spr)...something worth losing 80 perc for. If you
don't do this, then people will stick with first aid, and don't bother
getting surgery gear...thus they will only fight
for themselves, not for others (cuz you only can operate on others)
me too, I will get rid of surgery entirely and stick with first aid if
a decent skill isn't given at the time of the trees...I'm clanned, so
unfortunately I wouldn't be able to devote my life helping others...
I'll have to change my desc too :P

I'll agree being a 3rd circle create has an advantage here, considering I
heal myself easy using only around 300 mana which takes me a whole 7 or so
to meditate back, but then again.. I cant fight all that well
by myself..

I know people that are great fighters (100dex/80perc) but also have
surgery stats without spam.. their str/con isn't too bad either (30/30)
people can't have it all. have to give and take. it just takes time and
patience to plan eq and get it to all work out

I think you are wrong in many aspects. First of all,
in my opinion this game is designed to be social,
there are lots of other games where you can
do everything alone, without any need to rely on
others. Even here, you can be a lone wolf if you want to,
there are many already around. You say that you need to
sleep a bit longer than the healing session ? Well,
something for something. I would recommend you to
make a surgeon character, and see if you are happy with
the current situation, or if you want to make it
even harder for them. You complain that we dont
take money for healing ? Well, I will heal for money as
soon as I can buy levels for money :P
Dont know about the others, but I personally hate
when people asking you to heal AFTER the combat is over,
and got all the xp for it, expecting you to do it free
becouse you are not doing anything anyway, just
lying idle in the inn.
( what the hell is this Wobble doing in the middle
of my post ? -boggle- :P )
I agree though, that one should be able to achieve
almost everything without help, if he/she is happy
to do it the harder way. Unfortunately some things
in the current system are not working that way,
hopefully the skilltrees will change the situation
for much better.
