Now, one thing that is probably against me is rolling a hunter. Hunters were the last class implemented in the game, and they were put in during beta. They are not finished yet, or at least anyone who plays one hopes so. The skills we can learn(called talents) are okay, but the ones that cost the most(and thus should be the best) are mostly garbage. Theres 3, and only 2 of them would EVER be used by a hunter, and the other two arent really very good for being "top-tier". Not only that, but there are bugs with the class that have been around since beta, and not been fixed yet. These arent little "sorta a pain" bugs, but bugs that can screw ya over pretty good. Theres also a pretty good lack of decent equipment and weapons for a hunter, in the end game. But its starting to look like they are improving that, they added a new dungeon in the last patch that apparently has some good stuff for hunters. One of the worst things is that hunters dont really have a specific role for groups taking on dungeons. Blizzard says hunters are "the ideal pullers" (if ya dont play MMO's you might not know what that means.) But the fact is that most any other class can pull just as well as us. Leaving us without a place in groups sometimes. Now one thing we have going for us is our selfsufficiency. We dont get hit to much, so we dont need healing, and our Damage doesnt rely on mana, so we dont need to rest. The last thing in this department is that, up until about 2 weeks ago, there was ALMOST NEVER any rep from blizzard posting in the hunter forums responding to posts about bugs, and concerns about the class. Now we have a rep who seems devoted to helping us, so thats good. The thing that does it for me is this though, and it doesnt have to do with all that ****: Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, decided to start "realm transfers". Now, I chose my realm partly because I knew people on it, but also because its a PVP realm, and its LOW POPULATION, meaning theres not many people on it. These realm transfers allow people to transfer their characters from one (high population) realm to another (low population) realm. Lucky me, blizz chose our realm to receive the transfers. I went from having a pleasant time playing to, spending 30s-1m loading major towns, and then still lagging a little bit running around them. THAT IS ****! Not only that, but I just waited 5 mins to LOG IN to my realm. I really wanna know what Blizz was thinking about this. Sure, the people who play on that realm get a lot of lag, and have to wait to log in, but THEY PICKED THAT REALM. They should have to live with it. I picked mine to avoid that ****. DAMN IT! /rant
