The rebalancing created a ton of new problems. Start with Ironmen. How are we supposed to train and utilize ranged effectively when shops and drops effectively stop at level 40 equipment? Blue, red, and black dhide drops, yew, mage, any real cbow- drops from those are almost non existent. You have to be fighting extremely high level monsters to obtain them as drops, but if you don't have the equipment you need, you have no chance of killing them. Void was the only reasonable option after green dhide. That is not consistent with the other forms of combat. You can walk into shops and buy high-level mage and melee equipment. As you have left us, you need level 70 crafting to make level 50 range armor. You need level 77 crafting to make level 60 range armor, and you need level 84 crafting to make level 70 range armor. Reasonable drops for ranged EQ just aren't out there. Contrast that with the others, where runes and melee eq and weps are easily dropped or bought.
