Haha, sorry I didn't mean to sound too negative. I think that was just a little frustration at the last few levels I've been doing. I won't deny for a second that leveling is better than it used to be. It's way safer, faster, you have more options. For that I say thumbs up and great job!
However, being dirt kicked qualifies as an obnoxious aspect of leveling imo... anything to make leveling less about "waiting for tics" (oh how I loved it when dirt kicking got its duration extended!) and more about "doing stuff (or the illusion of it)" = good to me. It's a minor thing but it's a peeve. Then again as someone mentioned, NPCs who actually cast blindness are probably the most obnoxious thing hehe.
Also it's nice to hear that grep is down for some occulingus
