Return of Reckoning

You have to do a "can I speak to the manager?" sort of thing there, they'll be able to give you more definitive answers, but the first 4 points are certainly in the to do list, last I recall.

Try asking in ror's disc as well, maybe a "manager" will tell you.

PVE wise, you definitely do not see them as much nowadays, by a long margin.
Before the patch you'd see them in almost every dungeon party, even lowbies would run as shield heal, but now it's pretty much just chal/book in dungeons.
I only remember seeing 1 shield dok in dungeon since the patch ...

A third-party solution doesn't seem that great of a solution, we should be able to sort things ingame in a reasonable time.
Appreciate the discord link though, templa.

What harm does this /pve server-wide ingame channel do?

None, it helps people fill PVE groups quicker with players that happen to ...

TL,DR: Create a server-wide PVE LFG channel that can be read by both realms ingame.

The server is already an xrealm mud hole, so we might as well take advantage of it!

Since plenty of people ...

Did you try removing the goggles in your pocket and seeing if it goes away?

I think that used to give me those same black thingies on some char.

This was up on the server's discord, perhaps it is of interest regarding your situation:
