They gonna kill off magic. Trust me. Fs always knew magic was trash. As soon as the shark and zt get reworked to work well together. Magic will be put to it's deserved death, zt fusion and we will be killed and i'll have to cough up stupid amount of money to upgrade the shark i had in middle school. Which will still cost me arm and leg even with vfo's "generous" upgrade pricing. Oh, yeah, kiss ai2's actually helpful tech support goodbye too, y'all.
