I think in retail a damage spell would push back the spell .5 seconds, but then it would be locked out for a second. This prevented chaining spells back to zero. On here there is no such mechanic. You can chain .5 into .5 into .5 and completely destroy a cast. The maximum a 1.5 sec cast should take to cast is 3 seconds (1-0.5+1-0.5+1 = 3 seconds). I've sat for almost 5 seconds casting a 1.5 second heal. That is ABSOLUTE bullshit, regardless of if I had 1 or 50 people on me. Not only do these problems gimp melee vs caster combat, it screws up caster vs caster combat when DoTs push back freaking casts. According to Wowwiki only these types cause spell pushback.

Just the starting zone? That's FAR worse than the current system. If you're going to increase respawns (which I totally support), do it server-wide. Quests mobs need to be increased, quest items need to be increased. It all needs to be increased. If you ramp up the starting zones barrens becomes an absolute cesspool. And so on and so forth. Tbh quest mobs and items need to be vastly increased. But I think it all should be increased. Having to group everytime you go to a mob-kill area because of the amount of people vs mob is infuriating.
