Runes of Magic US / AU

Please fix these things someday. They just waste our time and add absolutely nothing to the enjoyment of the game.

1. housemaid buffs/items - what is the effing point of making these items random? I can't comprehend why anyone would've ever come up with this idea, except maybe if they once considered selling diamonds housemaids that gave exactly what you wanted. Once the maids are raised to a certain level, why not let us pick what we need? We will still buy multiple housemaids because we need a lot of different things. This just makes no sense!

2. Varanas housemaid and mail location - why do you put the housemaid in a separate zone from the mailbox other than to just annoy us again? I'm only complaining about Varanas because that's where I spend most of my time lately. Obsidian stronghold is even worse. Just destroy the bank and move the housemaid there. Better yet, move the housemaid, mailbox, auction house and guild castle on the bridge outside. Housemaid and mailbox should always be together and always part of the main map, not in another zone we have to portal to. All this constant zoning just adds to the instability of the game as well as time wasted having to go back and forth.

3. instant pet summoning, mounting, and mount pots - why can't we just instanly summon a pet or mount a horse and why can't we use mount pots while mounted instead of getting dismounted and having to remount? We can summon pets while mounted, so why not let us drink a pot.

4. Malatina's course of terror - get rid of that useless intro scene before the door opens and just open the door immediately after we pay our tokens so we can save 20 seconds every day.

5. Instances transport crystals - these should be in all the instances. Why are they in some but not others? Did some programmer just forget to put them in or is it another attempt by ROM to just annoy its players.

My point about Varanas is that there are plenty of other cities or base areas that don't require zoning back and forth between functions we use multiple times every day and that's the way they should all be. Also, it's not very difficult to put a mailbox into the map. Merdhin Tundra had no mailbox but then they put one in. Another place like Aslan has the house far away from the city so they have two mailboxes. As far as going into the guild castle to send mail, it's basically the same thing as having to zone into central plaza.

Another inconvenience is the nonexistence of vendors outside some instances. Grotto of Horrors has a merchant right outside the door, why can't there be one outside Pillars of Morfan as well, or at least next to the revival spot. This would save time and not detract from the game in any way.

I'm not complaining about there not being a Snoop every 1000 feet because I understand it's in ROM's interest to sell transport runes. I'm also not complaining about not getting a 120 OD item every time we step into an instance or pull mentos. I'm just talking about little details that would make the overall game experience smoother and save time because all these seconds and minutes add up and many people don't have a lot of time to play a game.

@Zhur, sorry I was writing my post while you were posting yours so I would've just +1 yours.

Quoted from "Zerienga"

You aren't "required" to port to the different parts of varanas. It only makes it faster (sometimes).

You are right! lol I honestly forgot that.
