Another option, for those who don't want to move their pictures, could be to simply rename the picture files. Of course, if you have more than just a handful of pictures, renaming them can be a huge task if you don't have a program to do t...

Get rid of having to manually activate buffs!!

A workaround is all fine and good... but it's still a workaround. It's like saying "Well, the system is broken, but you'll get used to it." Sure, I'll get used to it, but I'd rather have it not broken in the first place.

Persoanally, I see no reason why things can't work they way they do on the live servers. I also don't really see it being a question of balance. Look at it this way, at level 50 you have 100 memory points. You load one whole tree (if you w...

I use that one a lot... and I also think it should be toned down massively in appearance. I don't mind the clapping beforehand, as I almost never use it outside of a fight, but the big yellow burst is way too much.
