You talk about disadvantage the way a politician does drach. Not a flame but you are pointing it out in such a way that it is merely a perceived disadvantage.
Im an LE Player and according to you im at a disadvantage because that guy over there has decided to take out his LE. He now gets a hypothetical 20% increase per hour/day/kill on me. Damn man. thats a huge disadvantage.
AAH. wait. now here comes a big bad pker that everyone talks about. Hes just killed that guy while i stood back and watched. that guy lost an item in his belt mr big bad pker just hacked. he faced the indignation of choosing a gr and going off back to where ever to try and find a poker etc and wait off his SI etc. I on the other hand can continue to level.
Cost VS benefit. Economics. I offset the cost (slower xp) with the benefit (no PK) so therefore how i am i really at a disadvantage.
Not sure how else i can put it without being accused of trolling or being told to fuck off to another server.
Apologies if the post is written in a childish tone also. it does read like i would say this to a child but with the replies in this thread i felt that writing it simply was the best way because people are still failing to grasp the core argument here and that is trying to find a successful balance between both worlds. Not punishing one camp to benefit another but finding a way that two sides in this arguement can live in symbiosis as its clear we do actually need each other.
