There are not many. Of course, like any server, you'll always have a few, but it's a lot better than some live servers. A couple years ago one person thought I was AFK and tried to train me. That was my only bad experience on test, but I play pretty low-key in general.

I grew up in Alaska and spent my entire youth going to semi-pro hockey games, but for some reason never developed taste for the NHL. I live in Seattle now and the Kraken are, well, a typical Seattle team. So now I'm just rooting for the Canucks to lose.

One live servers, the 1.0 is useless at all levels. 2.0 stays relevant for the entire game, but you'll probably never actually equip it. You just want it in the bag for the clicky. All of the epics can be soloed at higher levels (I usually grab them around 90 when it's trivial but tedious)...

A financial advisor is a good practice for everyone, but you really need to find a CPA for your taxes. On a personal anecdote, the first year I started making a lot of money, I found a CPA that saved me $10k that year over what turbotax was telling me. Tap your network and find someone local...

I started ignoring spell damage once I made the same realization that you did. It's better than a sharp stick in the eye, but I'd rather just get more hps/mana than spell damage. Honestly, other than focus effects, gear for casters is just kind of meh.

It's not petty to want to understand what's going on. People should ask questions when they see behavior that they don't understand.

Beastlords are very strong in pretty much any group. I can't get away from anymore. Their extra healing is, as you said, just kind of there. It's helping in the background but it's not as noticeable as adding a cleric or a paladin. Their DPS and ADPS is fantastic through. As Sic mentioned...

You can have multiple ini files for a character. Take a look at the "Starting Kissassist" section toward the top of this page: https://www.redguides.com/wiki/KissAssist

This requires an Intel processor, so won't work with an M2.

There are some threads here on using crossover: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/how-to-install-the-redguides-launcher-in-crossover-on-mac.87338/

I recently bootstrapped myself on live and went the mage route for the expense reasons you mentioned. But I used to play on Test and none of that applies to Test. You will have unlimited plat and easy access to gear from 1 - 125, so that shouldn't factor in to your decision. For me, I know I...

/mourn for power leveling.

For me it depends on level. During the leveling process there are lot of times that you best single target and AE mez will have different level caps, so I usually use both. Once I'm capped though I usually run no mez or AE mez. It really just depends on your group and the content that you're...

It's not that it's difficult, but if you need to react to something during combat, it's usually going to be on your tank. I sometimes switch over to a bard or monk if I need to do some complicated pulling in older content. Just start out playing whatever class you like and adjust later on. I...

Personally, I think it's easier to start with just 2 or 3 characters. There's a lot to take in at first and you will be totally lost (don't feel bad about it). You can run a merc or two to keep you alive until you get the hang of things. It's easy to add more as you go. I'd suggest starting...
