Unfortunately, they've been talking about the combat and GCW revamps for 
well over a year. Most of the long timers have gotten fed up and left. I 
still have the game installed on my rig, so if the revamps finally take

With limited time, WoW is ideal for me. You get an XP bonus during times 
when you are logged out.

I was pretty excited to be in the JTL beta, until I saw the XP 
requirements for Master Pilot. D'oh!
