<<Example last night I was laughed at when I asked if any one wanted a level
12 wizard. (by 3 people over shout no less) If that is the opinion of the
majority of the populace in a game that is suppose to be group only, then I
say we need something to make us more valuable...>>

I am not sure who was laughing or for what reason but rest assured that
wizards have no problems finding a group. I can't count the times that my
group(I have a few people I constantly group with) will not pull critters
while I am AFK, they recognize that I do most of the damage in a big fight
and they have died without my help many times. I think the problem is that
at your level people tend to think that any of the other spell casters are
just as good as you(or better because they can buff) but what they don't
understand is that you are the supreme damage dealer. You can and will make
the difference in a lot of fights. You need to find people who understand
what a wizard is meant to do and those that appreciate what you bring to a
group. Keep looking because those people are out there and they become much
more prevalent at levels 16 and up.
