1. Alchemy doesn't fail anymore now, especially -stats potts which seemed to be unbalanced, and i heard that Blacksmithing doesnt fail too.

Disagree. Resources are harder to come by now than in T3A. Example is Reapers for shrink pots are harder to find. There used to be a mass spawn area of them and that is gone. Searching and searching and trying to farm them for what they are only to fail on the pots seems unfair at the moment. Another example is Blacksmithing. The way you mine nowadays is a lot more tedious than before. The amount of "you dig and fail to find any usable ore" is ridiculous. Bob, if you're reading this, this right here is something you need to tweak to sway off afk'ers.

2. Some skills need to be harder just like "Meditation, Alchemy, Taming and Magery" maybe someothers.

Why? What is your reason? Gains are still brutally slow but come on. Go delete all of your gm chars and get back to me on that. Things are good atm *and i'm working at a smith/miner and carpenter/fisher. No complaints besides attempt fail overloads.

3. Gaining stats to over than 100 is really RIDICULOUS, ppl can gain to 120 str/dex with some skills, that is breaking down the economy of fishers.

I agree. Completely. Fishers strive on that dough when players want to beef up.

4. Resisting is easy to gain, but i won't say much here because ppl are complaining on this alot, but i'm telling them "Go hunt and try?"

I dissagree. I gained resist far better in T3A. Its not close to what I'd be happy with but its far better than it has been since the switch to T4a

1. Reapers are much more than they were but they are spawning in diff spots now, but ya if u have a tamer ull find alot of them everywhere.
----also other potts like -int, they are easier to get than before, u can find like 8 bones when u kill a deamon.
----Fails should be a part of the game.

Good point, though I don't plan on training a tamer. I like to buy my pets and use my own pots to maintain them. Secondly Daemons at the moment seem fair enough. They drop below 100gp. For the difficulty, it seems more than fair to get 8 bones. Lastly, you should NEVER fail at gm. If you are a Grandmaster at your skills, What kind of Grandmaster are you when you fail? You Don't deserve that title.

2. My reasons are: i've already deleted my gm warrior "Lplkassem" and trained new chars.. i trained taming, magery, alchemy and a couple of other skills.
----i've been complaining to bob before i even gm them.. because i rly enjoy training hard skills.

Apples and oranges. I don't like playing solely to train skills. I admire that you do though. Once again, apples and oranges.

3. you got a point.

Because it's true and we all know it.

4. it was easier if u were training it on ur mage.. back when u could cast on self.
but on warriors it was so hard when u used to hunt to gain it.. i'm already training it now on "Goku Void and Zoro" and i've gained good.

Yes but in T3a when I had my old OLD warrior, I had close to 70 resist from hunting shrines. In t4a my warrior and pvm mage still has under 55 resist and I hunt many spell casting monsters.

if u put fails into blacksmithing (just one example) it would be shit..
now if you did away with the mining fails.. then gave smithing the chance to fail every once in a while i wouldnt oppose.. but how it is now.. u cant give it fails..
