Why now is a great time to make an alt that is not a tideborn

Just advice for all the new players who might browse this way....

Allow me to explain in bullet point:
-There are lots of players re-rolling to tideborn driving up the price of tideborn stuff.
-Tide born class hasn't really been developed enough and suffer from balance/nerf issues.
-You can't really find many people with high end tideborn stuff opposed to high end human/untamed/elf stuff.
-The fly gears for tideborn cost an arm and a leg, whereas even now it is a GREAT time to buy the aerogear of people who are re-rolling tideborn.
-People are sick of lowbie tideborns in their parties. It sucks when BHs are composed of 2 assasins, 2 psychics, 1 cleric, and 1 WB. No pulling, not as much damage output, and potential for death ^ with leeroying agro-happy assasins.

Concessions:
-There are the rare people who are zerg-leveling their tideborn and are willing to part with their gear at lower than low prices to jump to their next sets.
-Tideborns do have better looking hair styles and model designs than many other races.
-They add a surprise element in PVP because most players base their current PVP strategies on all other classes.

Neutral:
-Neither one or the other will find it easier for new players to start because they are poor, lack any real knowledge of the game markets, and probably will just resort to cash shopping anyways.
-In the long run, all things will even out, the late game balance and gears will catch up in cost, and differences are minute.

-Just a thought,
Doc. Bean

    TL;DR version: Quoted notable dislikes the use of old nicknames and abbreviations and felt compelled to voice their disapproval. Or something...? o_O

    Werebeasts is the PW-MY name for barbs. Some people started on PW-MY and still use the old acronyms. I think this is most common on the older servers.

    WB = "welcome back", "world boss", "werebeast", and so on. Really depends on the context IMO. I haven't played the MY version but I still do see people referring to classes as their MY names.

    EA: Elf Archer - duh
    EP: Elf Priest (though it just screams "episode" or "extended play" to me, lol) - Cleric
    Warrior: BM
    WF: Werefox - Veno

    AAAANYWAYS. Back on topic for me:

    Hehe yeah, I rerolled a couple alts since then. Or well, started playing everything more than I used to. I'm guessing the lack of clerics and barbs, since everyone's moving to psy/sin, got me some sort of incentive to play other classes. I have a psy, but I still enjoy cleric, barb and BM more than my psy.
