The Sorcerers from spawn have been receiving a lot of hate both IC and OOC for things that aren't even in their control. Imagine spawning in and having people treat you like trash IC while talking bad about you OOC for no reason.
they took 2-3 months to reach the point they've been at. And in those 2-3 months they've took major losses in the beginning, citing them getting demolished in their early days until they grew to the point where they were today. Aetius has always been on the backfoot in any conflict that it's been in, and before the Sorcerers even came about, there was an impossible wall and gap that couldn't be overcome, especially as a faction that was in opposition to Goldlight.
We didn't have access to resources or events that would help us grow, didn't have access to anything, and we had people dying left and right with the most painful being Uralai who had an unfortunate fight.
Sorcery had been introduced before the sorcerers have been about, and for a while at that. It wasn't introduced to kill out old characters, it was to introduce a grey version of witchery that wouldn't instantly lead to you being put at a stake when being found out.
I seen something about Aetius being chance's creation... It wasn't. It was made by Uralai, Gideon, Bylthe(?), and a few others. The sorcerers came months after. The sorcerers weren't forced to stay in Aetius. All of them had the freedom to leave as they saw fit, and I believe one of them had already done so. The main reason why they actually wanted to stay though was because again, they received extremely poor treatment as soon as they spawned in.
On points about powercreep, I will agree entirely. Personally, from my experience, I struggled greatly, and most of the time, I found it to be because I lacked the stats and uniques that I needed for someone in my position. All I had was a soulbound arcanium staff with +2meta/lightning pow no other uniques. When I got my sig, both the first and second, it felt like things only became harder because I was technically ready to fight stronger people, but because my stats couldn't hold up, I got obliterated.
And to play into the first point, we didn't have resources that would allow us to catch up.
In my opinion, stat providing signatures are cool and fine, but uniques, especially when you have access to anything you may need are waaaay too strong.
