I haven't had a chance to play since early yesterday morning. I would already be past level 50 by now. :p
EDT = PDT + 3. It's 13:00-16:00 EDT. 1 PM to 4 PM. (If you're actually still in standard time instead of daylight, wtf. That's... I don't know, an hour one way or the other.)

Because it causes us to lose areas to the beastmen and also encourages MPKers to come along and ruin your day.

Exactly, its not.
If you want to make that argument, then technically it did help. Anyone who hit the fortification, even without tags, did damage to it. And damaging the fortification lowers the strength of campaign mobs during battle, making them easier to defeat.

And how exactly did people skilling up in campaign without tags lead to those results? Are you using the same non-logic as the people who said /BRD spell spamming was the cause of beastmen taking over all zones?

That comic doesn't make much sense. The RDM update was awesome.

A - Face it, the WHM update was much much better, so in comparison almost anything would look bad
B - The comic is much funnier this way. There isn't much humour in everyone being happy.

Also, I personally wouldn't use the word awesome to describe the changes for RDM. Something or new toys would be, but not awesome.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Yes, but you're a lifelong curmudgeon.

The WHM update is very nice, but to enjoy it, you have to be a WHM. And I'd rather be a RDM.

Or it might be because he sees the comic for what it is: a funny joke

RDM Update is mixed.

Composure is amazing (close to 8 minute refresh now) but Enspell II's suck complete ass.

By Hyrist's comments we find that no, it's not.

Just because they're not what you wanted it doesn't mean they suck complete ass. You CAN use them before level 70 or when not Dual Wielding (gasp!)

Wouldn't be surprised if Stellar Earring has some weird hidden effect.
