In retrospect, the way they split up the classes across the teams really imbalanced the end-game for darkies and ultimately hindered our access to top end gear. I would never knowingly put myself at a disadvantage like that again. I reiterate. I'm not totally opposed to the idea because I do feel there are advantages to it. I'm skeptical at this point though that it is possible to do it well or that it warrants the time and energy it would take to get it right. In theory I think it can add a lot to a game but in practice it has always been fumbled.
WoW did the same thing, gave each other 'equivilents' and did fine for 4+ years. Just a bunch of complainers that will never be happy with anything complaining. They messed up some of the drops by raid mobs, but it was livable.
