Random Balance thoughts

[Glythe]

Apparently the forum ate the reply I posted yesterday.

As a solo human i am in penalty 99% of the time.

My humans are in community 99% of the time.

Humans do not display when they get dirty but elves do immediately. I will remind you that you pointed out you have no experience playing an elf. I two human characters because they level so much faster.

It is incredibly easy to go out for 60-90 minutes as a human and then take a sell break and still be in community.

Humans have no way to earn bonus xp like elves do. The humans "free bonus" (which only applies to people who group) of 1% is nothing compared to the elven cleanliness bonus under arrangment which can get up to 10% or something.

Plus elves have mutliple pieces of gear to boost max cleanliness (Elven Officer's Helm, Suave Mage Shirt, etc). Humans have nothing to boost max community apart from their racial earrings.

Are you advocating the use of level 50 gear? can I do the same and say make sure to use your community earrings? Cleanliness items do not significantly adjust the rate at which you get dirty - in my experience.

Having 15 minutes of +10% xp and then the remaining 3 hours plus at -10% xp is a really bad trade. I would love to see the display keep you clean longer and have a more balanced xp % increase.

"actual objective fact"

Fact:

Elves have inferior jewelry to humans
Elves lose their xp bonus much faster than humans (without taking any action as the player for either)


Observation:

I can take my humans out for 60-90 minutes and stay in community.
I can lose my cleanliness bonus in 15 minutes as an elf.

There seems to be a big disconnect here in terms of equality

*Edit Update: With 13% xp buffs i lost my clean bonus in under 6 minutes in kur tower. So then I went and washed off and watched the timer (thank you skin buffs). I was dirty before 2 minutes passed - this includes travel time to mobs. I washed off again and noted the time. I was able to get dirty again in under 2 minutes (with even fewer mobs closer to the water wash off point).

Conclusion:

Elves are mechanically inferior to humans and the mechanism could be adjusted slightly.

Why you feel the need to personally attack those who play differently than you with insults though, is somewhat baffling.

Who am I attacking? Are you trolling again?
