Wanted Pirate
Mate, the game is way to easy already. We need something to level the playing field. And besides, were pirates - our "lives" are filled with hardship.
As for the whole surprise thing, that only lasts 2 seconds. Why would you want the game to just be a huge slaughter with the enemies having no chance at all when we could actually make the game more challenging? Or maybe you'd rather be a farmer than a pirate.
And as for the whole idea that its "unfair;" put it this way - what happens if your, say, level 40, and your taking down a 2 thrall with a level 45 friend, and suddenly this level 1 basic charges outta no where, deals the last hit on him and everybody gets a WE. How is that fair??
And for the leveling - to many high levels out there.
Just going to stop you there on the level one commanding himself all the way to the thrall room without dying and dealing the last blow... to a thrall... on tormenta...
In all fairness, your way sounds more like farming than the way now. Pretty sure most farmers know what they're picking when they plant something... Just like knowing what your enemy is going to drop when you challenge it. Your way WON'T make anything more challenging - it will make it MUCH easier. I personally would just run around on quiet servers looking for guys with good weapons only - beating them myself.
And as someone with 3 - technically 4 with the double silver freeze - legendary... the surprise lasts way longer than 5 seconds
