Alright, I dont know how many rb's dont have archers but lets say I agree with u. Ok, a lot of rb's dont have archers and mages can lure them. Ok. Lets discuss futher. 9 ppl can join RB party. How many of those 9 ppl will be real newbies? I can bet only 1, it is u the mage who lured the boss, even if not, lets say 3 newbies... How many rb's do we have from 40-58 ~? like 20 mb? Idk actually... How many hours do they respawn ? a day? Seems ok, but the fact is only few newbies will actually be in those rb's parties, and u have to wait, u have to join rb's partyies, it is not like u can do the 24/7 right ? You should get that great timing Moving on, lets say u will get leveled to lvl 58 somehow, why I'm talking about 58 lvl? Because later on the bosses are hardly camped by other clans(alt clans) and random mage's wont be able to lure, or any other melee, maybe, he will get lucky but what are the chances?
When you get level 58 ~, what do u suggest then? Join/make abg party? As I said before, this won't work. I saw so many times people where trying to mage ABG parties and they where like for 30 mins with 2-3 ppl in the partyroom, without a tank, or SE, or ES... and they just disband... Join clan? Good idea, how many same level will be in that clan ? some ppl will be 32, some 75, some 50 etc. YOu might join some medium clan with 58-70 lvl's but are u gonna get same prime with the people? Are they willing to farm abg ? or they want solo? You know, it is so many things u have to think about and depend on others ( yea I know it is mmorpg etc) but if people dont want to do this, what can u do as a newbie? U get upset since farming solo is just a pain in the ***...
p.s. also joining rb's party wont give you adena, right, in the end u will need to buy gear and other stuff, u get level but zero adena, maybe u will get runes, some shit items and u will get few KK, but this is not enough to even buy basic staff and armor grade lets say
p.s.s also add the chances how many rbs u will be able to lure rb's and/or be part of other rb party member
