I hate the fucking retarded new direction UOGamers: Demise took in granting players access to the Spellweaving skill. Used to be, all you had to do was pay a flat 50,000 gold fee (not an inconsiderable amount of money, mind) and have everything you needed. Now? You either do a quest for a group of elves that involves killing extremely powerful enemies, or get thru extremely powerful enemies to get to a group of dickhead elves and run fucking errands for them, like killing 50 rats in an hour.
The problem? The first quest has a pair of enemies I have to kill, but are no-fucking-where to be found outside getting into a dungeon guarded by fucking daemons and other horrors. Not something one can solo, or at least not if they're me. This, again, wouldn't be a problem if the community in-game didn't completely ignore people not spamming shit for sale. In short, I can't get to know anyone in-game, because nobody fucking talks in-game for something other than selling rare shit.
The second one? I have to kill rats in that shithole of a camp...and, once a-fucking-gain, they're nowhere to be fucking found. Its got to be inside that fucking shithole, too, so I can't just go to the Britain sewers and be done inside 5 minutes. It doesn't help that the 2nd group is completely xenophobic and their dialogue takes every chance to piss on humans. I want to straight up slaughter their smug arses and steal their power. Alas, the game won't let me have that honour.
AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY I HATE ELVES!
