They're barely used anymore in pve, and it wouldn't surprise me if new players don't know how to use them...<br /><br />I agree about the raiding though, nowadays people stare themselves blindly on achievements, but back then you could get in on actual skill and reputation - the way it should be.Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935881612077507321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-27521839276019474652013-01-25T21:42:16.583+01:002013-01-25T21:42:16.583+01:00Haha, neither do I.
