Just because they are great for xp groups is not the same as for rvr. I remember the TL working a very long time to get those changes into the game. The only other mages without a long range spell are those with pets (not charm).
It is not that hard to be kind Riac. The toxicity of your post spills into the game and I can see why casual players like myself would be discouraged to continue playing this server. If you would try to be constructive in your critique as many others do elsewhere that would be more helpful. If you cannot, then silence is usually a good for you to consider. Act like you are talking to a person in the same room as you.
