Ehhh....
I'm a little lost on this thread now - have been following it with some interest throughout the day though...
For every mage that wont cure you/doesn't have time/is afk and eating bits and bites, there are probably another 4 who will - it's just being in the right place at the right time (though in places like the dunes I *whm myself but kind of low level* must admit it was hard finding a whm raise as they were a bit bothered by the fact they had to do it every few seconds...) - but curing shouldn't be a problem... Most whms will *at least for the sake of levelling their healing magic skill* happily throw a cure on those injured by the roadside(on the Phoenix server around SanD'Oria at least) ....
So pick yourself up, dust yourself off and chew some gum to get the taste of poison out of your mouth
- another day, better mages.
