Last year I might've joined in ranting. However, in the DR team's defense, they've been doing an extroadinary job this year. Lots of goals are being met, lots of things people actually care about are getting done, and at the same time I personally feel there's been a lot more IG events going on (probably direct result of the Gamehost recruitment back in May?) so everything's all around more exciting. The events alone is enough to keep people's minds off game mechs. While I wasn't able to participate in the ruffian invasion (for once easy enough for my char to handle) due to RL schedule/char location, nor was I able to do anything in the Shard invasion (well, 2 deathblows) and got frustrated trying to climb the korograth, I know it can be done and its not purely a circle thing, so I know they've been doing a good job.
