The whole "we care" thing is nice too, though.
Also they changed the stats you see on ALIST/ARMOURPROBE to the actual percent reduction, so the numbers got lowered significantly but the actual protection is well above average.
Field Plate: Cutting% 24; Blunt% 26;
If you can wear Field Plate, you can wear Fullplate, anyway, which is like this:
Fieldplate is no longer an item you can forge, but I guess they didn't want to just remove all of the existing suits from the game and leave people (who might not notice) with no armour at all. The awful stats is a way to encourage Knights to pick up Fullplate pretty much straight away, I guess.
Stats on Fullplate are 51%/51% without armour runes, which bump it up to 55%/55%.

And the contents of my alias:
send("extract salt")send("queue add eqbal extract sulphur")
send("queue add eqbal extract mercury")
svo.doadd("extract prime")
gprime2 extract salt/queue add eqbal gprime3
gprime3 extract mercury
My actual one then calls cprime to combine all three stacks.
edit: although that could also be done inline. This system also falls apart if any extraction step fails. They don't do alias expansion if the queue runs in the same prompt.

'Sup?
Just kidding, don't join us. We suck. Most cities will have a house that tends to be more combat oriented than others. It may be a good choice to look at one of those if that is how you would like your day-to-day game life oriented. If not, don't fret. You can always choose another house and make contacts with the members of that house that enjoy combat or other houses in your city. The key is to diversify your socialization.

That answer has no bias whatsoever.
(<3)
The Ashura have Kross, Nemutaur, Jhui, etc
The Legates have Xinna and Hasar. To a lesser degree myself and a few others can help too.
Not sure what combatants that the other Houses have outside of like Aelios/Gerwulf/Kenway, etc

Most houses have the basics set up. Here's a quick thrown together list of things every player mildly interested in PvP (and it all helps with PvA as well) needs to do.
1. Use a client (mudlet being the most common one), just a lot more robust than the html5 one
2. Use a curing system (SVO, Wyndersys are the 2 most common ones at the moment afaik)
3. Learn how to write aliases/macros
4. Buy 100 of each curative and 1 elixir/salve
5. Check HHELP for any combat scrolls
6. Join the City/House combat clan (ooc or ic)
7. Ask on HNT for help on your class kill strategy or message the house officer in charge of combat if no one is around
8. Practice in the arena as often as possible
This will get you the foundation, you can expand on this yourself once you've grasped the fundamentals
I'm not going to argue with whether my decision was right or not, however I would say my results speak for themselves. That's not to say I couldn't have done it in Targossas, but I didn't feel that way. As you said that was completely up to me.
My question is if you saw me dying to stupid things, and you kept track of your K:D ratio at the time:
Why is this the first I've heard about it? Wouldn't it be advantageous to pull the noob aside and say hey you're doing x wrong and should try y. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure this never happened. If it had, maybe I wouldn't have left Targossas?
I asked plenty of people (including the ones you listed) about what to do and got very small information from them. Again, if I felt the information was adequate, why would I have left? Every person that I interact with in combat situations, I've asked questions of at one point or another. I knew nothing when I started, so I'm 100% positive I asked questions at that time too.
In the end, it doesn't matter. I've learned what I learned entirely from the paths that I've taken my character through. You can ask anyone, I'm constantly telling people things I see them doing wrong to try to make sure they have information they won't get elsewhere. I've taken strives to teach any of our young people in Mhaldor anything I am able. You may disagree with my decision but that's okay. I still stand behind it as being the reason I'm where I am now combat wise.
