I know it was talked about previous, but have we ever  come to a decision to deal with the idoc timer? a change from 12 hours to something like 4 hours
i consider almost everything based on playability. previous servers, i would dedicate time to idocs, because the amount of time zoning/tracking time put in to recoup such rewards of the idoc, was worth it,
i do understand why somethings were changed (going from the traditional idocs of having people swoop in last min on the mark and loot to how it is now) i just believe that with these changes, you've changed  content from one minority, and given it to another minority, which is exactly the same as it was before.
the only difference is, the reward is given to whatever joe blow sits there for 12 hours.. or 24.
turns on his bot macro to pick up and wait for a gump saying item in hand, hit recall macro...
to me, and a lot of other people that i know, and stated when the change was implemented.. the content.. is dead, i dont do idocs here, i dont really care to... its dead content
i would just like to see some changes in this regard, to actually make it playable content once again to the majority, being it creates tons of pvp, and with a smaller window it will increase the activity and amount of players getting involve... instead of the botting/camming people sitting semi afk
Another issue i currently have with the changes is with the PK system. With your current update, I dont even pk anymore.. You've ensured its not even worth my time, You have tons of bot resources gatherers out there, and i surely enjoyed my time chasing them down and killing them, as well as all the others i've chased down to kill, some new players, but upon killing a new player and realizing it i tended to res them without looting them, as its not the intent to disparage new players as Owyn would state as SOF's intentions. but with the current system with a near 100% increase in cost per count, as well as the implementing a more complicated system of area restriction, i personally think it couldve been spent doing much more meaningful things, instead of appealing to Trammel mindset,  It was expensive enough as it is to have a pk, or 3, but once again, you've now taken more content away from the majority.
and my last part of my rant for now is to the nerf of tamers and their pets, Prior to patch, regardless of what pets/setup the tamer had, i could drop a 120 tamer with level 10 pets on me without any trouble, if anything, they were already underpowered in a defensive stand point against other players specifically me with a dexxer with 70 resist, 3 strikes youre dead on them... now, youve truly ensured that they are defenseless, and this coming from someone is attacking them, and already believed that they were underpowered.
Im hoping you dont take this in a sense of shitting on the server and what you guys have done, i would just like to give you my input and how i feel the server is turning with my time here, and that im not 100% happy with it, in the sense of playability being decreased in so many areas.  I do thank you guys for continuously turning out new content, but i believe before the shard looks forward in content it needs to perfect the previous content, just my two cents. Thanks
