Resist damage with eq. Spellmax is not needed, or atleast there are so many
good races around you get what out want. Skillmax for defenders who need
dodge. A society which provides 60con gives nice amount of skillmax too. And
you dont instarip compared to a booned tank if your dodge is only 90%. There
are races with fm. Quick lips and moon impro are powerful boons for those who
have too many of them, yes.
I wouldn't call them HUGE bonuses, as I haven't seen any real need for any of
them even when playing with people with 10 boons.

And are you only looking at the problem from a slavest view, as in "that mage
isn't good enough for my party because he doesn't have x boons"? Seems so,
atleast if you do not take into consideration that a non-booned lvl80 player
is much more potent than Asolo or Tonto, who have boons and eq, but sadly, no
brains :<.

I party a lot with nonbooned characters, but naturally I often try to take
the best people available to my parties to get the best out of the time
invested. And there is a HUGE difference between 5boon psi/mage/chan/conj
vs 0boon one, no matter what you say the difference is huge.

I have an INT boon, remember, i said INT. I can still hit 16minute+ prots
(affecting stats WIS) without a wis boon! People just don't bother buying eq.
And my wis set is full of cheap mostly newbie stuff

Well, then I\'ve been wrong all along since I\'ve never seen anyone
hit 16mins on major prots without boons before(actually not sure if
I\'ve seen any booned people get 16mins either):P Let alone with
\'newbie wis set\', you must be somehow special:) Tho not many people
use full wis swaps that is true...

Are you completely braindead?????
Donations have allowed hardware upgrades which have lead to many benefits.
Ie, less crashes (I haven\'t seen a crash in over a year). Longer boots
(nice for eq partys, right?), 1000+ mortal max (no queue) etc etc etc

To even consider downgrading boons is ridiculous and calous, look at the
benefits, people have paid hardearned cash for mud development (and tps).


Get off your high horse and shut the fuck up.

PS And yes, I have 7.5 boons, I paid quite a bit for it. Everyone I have
told irl thinks I\'m crazy for doing it, but I am happy.

However, even if boons were only half as good as they\'re now, or mostly
flavor-things like Tsuran there suggested - people would still donate.
Easily. Downgrading boons does not mean people wouldn\'t still get them.
You double the price of gasoline and people still buy it you know...

I have the feeling that you people forgetting the meaning of the word
\"donation\" and actually are discussing this like BAT is selling tps
to you. Donation is a donation. A gift. You should not expect anything in
return at all. And if, as in this case, Bat Ry thanks you for a donation
with an in-game gift, this is in no way TP market.

(That, i\'m more talking to Aceduck at the moment i guess.)

On the contrary balance of boons might seem improper, though when I was
playing I came to a conclusion that have you boons, or have you not, if
you have no brains, no boons will help. (Someone have already mentioned
that I think). There is _no_ difference between booned and non-booned
player, there is difference in attitude of minmaxers towards them. When
person here plays just to play and have fun, he cares not about those
boons.

Just my 2 cents.
