UI is more blinding than it was?

Am I the only one who likes the contrast up a little higher the colors more defined?   The new UI makes the game unplayable...



If anyone else cares.. maybe echo this on the actual forum.  A transparency and/or brightness slider for the UI would actually make the game playable.

Also another option would be to have an option to have the floaty damage numbers appear even if you have the UI off. 

As of now you have two options.. either turn the contrast all the way down so the game is washed out completely and bland looking..... but the UI isn't blinding.. or make the game bright and vivid and enjoyable to look at and have your eyes torn out by the UI.     Guess I'm in the minority and most people just keep the contrast all the way down to the point where the world looks bland and washed out.

The thread's title was just about dumping VIP status, not quitting completely.  I respect a high level of addiction. 

Yo Daggertooth, come to Orien.  You'd be welcome here.  Yeah, we're a bunch of loud-mouthed, self-righteous, arrogant hypocrites; but we've got room for one more.

Am I the only one who . . . 

In future, if you start a post with this thought assume the answer is yes.

Then assume the answer would be something on the order of 'GFY'.

It is how I survive here. 

Cool

The new UI isn't terribad.  I would prefer less chunky toolbars and I wish they had made the buff bar extend across the screen.  The targeting window is a little fucked up to.  I'd give it an overall C+.

I just wish every MMO would take a page out of WOW's book and allow fully customizable UI's.

I never could be bothered but with all the UI changes I can only assume so.

Once you found out you can get to the menu by clicking the ampersand, and then after you found out what an ampersand is.

Isn't it the sand left at the bottom of your laundry basket after you wash your bathing suit?

You know Hamper Sand?
