I know the Djinns were too good to be true.

Fuck yes, no more spamming /cmap, seeing a laggy icon, warping out to see people leaving from a finished fight.

Frequently updated region info = too hard to code for SE.

FAIL. I liked it outside the mog house so I could just zone real quick to get back to full HP/MP.

Win, it's a much shorter run from the HP to the Arbiter.

Yea, I thought it was in a few of the threads. Glad I got the levels I did though. Was so easy to go job/bst and duo with a rdm or something.

[Gwynplaine]

Well they just removed one of the worthwhile features of the expansion. Now instead of being a fun, but risky solo mob, Djinn can go back to the way they were supposed to be, completely undesirable to ever interact with.

[Spira]

at least i got a few good levels from it and shared it with friends..

maybe theres a new way that they explode...
