Some small changes I desire to bring more fun and less grinding

[Ausuna]

1. Make Armor training easier by increasing its training speed (maybe by a factor of 5?) and charging more (also 5 times more expensive?)

Reason: Currently armor is so hard to train. I can only train by grinding (let a npc attack me and go afk) and see no other way around.
            And I think this change is very easy to make.

2. Add more super npcs like Dlayos and cutthroats at different places (but do not let them chase ppl like Onyx Dagger).

Reason: Killing those npcs over and over again I do not consider grinding and is fun. It requires sound technics. But others? Hell no.

3. If an item cannot be got by any other means (loot or quest reward). GMs please do not give out them.

Reason: For fairness.

4. Reduce server lags.

Reason: When server lags and Dlayos kill you from the other side of the pit. One can only go grinding with other less powerful npcs if PP is needed.
            But this need the bugs to be fixed and I understand before 1.0 there's no promise and are not looking forward to it much according to past experience.

1. Make Armor training easier by increasing its training speed

You just had to pick the easiest skill to level up.  Just go bug a few weak monsters and go full defensive, you will level up really fast. 
Now crafting, there is something that you should complain about. *cough* carpotunnel *cough*

Your suggestions are sound but I suggest pulling more than one mob and going full defensive. As for your 'group mob' idea, yeah that would be nice, but when I was playing a bit more I'd have some good ol' guild wars going on. Those are great, you should try one

Make things other than combat give decent PP output, so far the only way to get pp eficiently is killing monsters it's making PlaneShift too combat-centric

[Prolix]

Some of us consider letting several monsters attack you when they cannot hurt you to be unethical at best. It isn't strictly against the rules, I suppose, but really ought not generate any practice. It is the same thing as standing at the magic shop casting rock armor repeatedly in order to train brown way quickly. In any sane progression system futile acts are just wasted effort and garner no rewards.

That is just me though I guess.

Perhaps, Ausuna, if you refrained from bloody attacks with q300 weapons and did not dance around your opponents they might have a better chance to exercise your armor skill but you are likely to find that boring too.
Maybe what is really needed in the current system is a strong multi-appendaged monster that gets 5 or more attacks a round so it has a chance to get one or more in before it dies.

3. If an item cannot be got by any other means (loot or quest reward). GMs please do not give out them.

Reason: For fairness.

“Well I wanna toilet made of solid gold, but it’s just not in the cards now, is it?”

I want to be handed all items and skills and rewards there are in the game right away because I only have a few hours a week to play PlaneShift and don't have time to level up and do the quests to get items. It's not FAIR!!!

* Under the moon kicks his feet on the floor and holds his breath.

They also do not give out Olympic gold medals to everyone who competes. Is that not fair either? People who complain about thing not being fair are generally victims of the Green-eyed Monster. I think there should be more 'unfairness' in PS, not less. Some people don't deserve to have access to everything.
