stalling a level is a certain style of play, i see you are doing that as well. Offering advises does not mean you change the very dynamics of the game itself. A baby first turns into a teen, then an adult and then enters old age. They don't directly sprout beards and develop astigmatism at the mere age of infancy. Similarly u need to go about the game in a preset manner. non-mage>mage>war mage. I didnt define this, game dynamics did. What you suggest is naiive, changing the very essence of the game itself. Oh and yes there's always a way out from your problems: level up. Gets boring? take a break? TOO BORING? leave. works fine
Anyway this is not the thread to be discussing such stuff, good day to you. Put up this point in feedback thread, you'll get your answers.
PS: kayzer is offering a really nice thing, you should take it
