TOI IS THE PROBLEM, it's not that mages have been forgotten about, everyone that's not a whale has been left behind.
TOI is strictly a VIP zone for the big spenders on server, and is completely unbalanced in terms of adena and xp compared to every other hunting zone.
Just look how many level 90's were 'advanced macrod' in there during this xp event...
Time to face the fact that if you are not a whale and big $$ spender you have been forgotten by the developers.
