This isn't lord of the rings, and if it's abysmal get up and do something about it. Helping people is not hard, some of us need to get it out of our head that "magic is to tough to teach oocly without teachers" because it's not. get them to follow the guidelines it's that simple, if they continue to abuse magic even with help make a report or get some high tier assistance. Cappy has hit all the prime point's in his posts and I couldn't agree more.

You want a good example? The arcane delvers/ mages guild had their hands on certain types of magic for awhile. It was insanely difficult to learn certain magic from anyone besides them. Like Charoodler said they had an insane amount of power and influence over magic because of this. locking all magic an making everyone relearn to obtain it would be a very poor move at this point in time, so I agree with lago keep it unlocked as a large portion of the magic community would definitely have some pretty hardcore rustled jimmies.

Why should we lock everything to cater to your desires of "quality magic roleplay" which would mean minimalist magic roleplayers once more? All in the same really, anyone can have quality magic roleplay it just takes some time and patience teacher or no teacher. If a new system like a complete lock were put in what would be done about all the new magic roleplayers now? Some new teachers have even pop'd up with students all their own. How would we go about finding out who's "really" a teacher? Kicking out people who became teachers after the removal of Ma's would infuriate me and many other new teacher around the server today. As i've said before some of us simply can't put in the time or would rather self teach because it's what we enjoy, some people like being students then let them be students there is no need to lock a whole section of roleplay for people.

Every magic type has a certain group of players around it, you can not deny that almost all magic was controlled by special little groups you had to get into. You want quality magic roleplay? help someone instead of scoffing behind a keyboard and laughing when they're confused. (Not necessarily saying you, but there are a few choice people who do.). Finding teachers is difficult and when someone can't provide the time towards that they get kicked out of any form of magic roleplay. For the people saying "If they can't put in the effort they shouldn't have magic.". All I have to say is this a fantasy minecraft roleplay server it's meant for fun and enjoyment during peoples free time and some of us don't want to or can't spend days look for a teacher, getting into there group, and training. Finding a teacher is indeed difficult, especially for people lacking time. Why should we kick these people out of the fun? Others don't even really need teachers like Blundermore or some of the mages created before Asulon. Why restrict when we have guides and the ability to help each other?

This again really? Don't we already have a topic for this? Please no keep it unlocked where it belongs. Reverting back to the late Asulon/early Anthos garbage will only frustrate people who have genuinely had issues getting teachers in the past. Leave removed restrictions removed, please. Magic is sometimes powergamed by newer members I get that, they just need guidance. Also magic will be changing in 4.0 (Regarding how you get it) so locking it wouldn't really make sense at this point. I would also like to say locking it now would royal F**k over current magic roleplayers who were self taught. Magic isn't locked to special cliques and groups anymore and with the new magic plugin coming ( with a different way to obtain it ) I say we keep the unlocked magic unlocked.
