I'm a 23 year old female IRL ( That's my eye on my avatar ) though I guess my views could be a little naive since I tend to lean towards the idealistic side when it comes to dealing with other people and what I expect out of them ( IE - Honesty and decency )

Well, it makes no sense for you.. But again, they may have their own reasons for doing it and perhaps they just plain find it enjoyable and fun. Isn't that what the game is about in the end? Perhaps even they need some diversity from the monotony of the game and don't want to stop playing but rather to seek something out within the game different from 'kill x number of creatures' or 'xx has been kidnapped' frankly I could understand that, I get tired of doing missions over and over too. There are only so many times I can kill Snaptooth before I start calling shennanigans and just get painfully bored with it.

In my experience many RPers who do these things are also in rl relationships which brings in the whole 'are you cheating on your rl partner?' into the equation and that's an argument for another day ( I say if your rl partner is okay with it, no. It's just a game and just fantasy... But then I tend to be more liberal than others ) so I don't know if I agree on the whole 'why not go meet real people?' also some people simply can't, won't or aren't comfortable with that. Take into consideration the vast array of personalities and differences between people in the game. Maybe they're anti-social, maybe they just don't like people, maybe they're disabled or maybe they have another perfectly valid reason for not wanting to dive into that?

Again, I'm more liberal than others. I tend to be more about the love and peace thing and have the idealistic expectation that everyone should live and let live.. Things just seem to run much more smoothly when people are tolerant and logical rather than bigoted and angry.

To be honest, I probably should but I figured I'd say something for the sake of saying something and perhaps making others think as well as seeing what the rest of the community thought about the issue.

Of course I'm on the Virtue server and I'm an RPer as many of us are on this server, it's something that not everyone does admittedly but I find it fun and I find it relaxing. My problem is that a lot of people seem to have the mentality that things like MRP and ERP are somehow wrong. That those that partake in these forms of RP are somehow 'lower life forms' than they. It both amuses and disturbs me that people seem to have such a high and mighty mentality, I'm wondering.. Why do people feel like that?

Not saying I do it, just saying that it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with this. We're assuming here both parties involved are at least 18 years old RL so that means they're consenting adults, that assumed don't people have the right to do what they want and rp what they want in public? I can see a concern if it was in public, I can see how people would be offended and heck I probably would be too.. But I've noticed that despite the fact that most MPRers and ERPers do it in private they're still mocked and insulted for it as if they're lesser for taking part in something they enjoy.

No ones better than anyone else is what I'm getting at. So why act like this? Why not just.. You know? Live and let live, get along with each other and show some common civility? If you don't like something, you don't have to take part in it et cetera et cetera.

In alot of posts here peeps have been saying 1/100 or 1/200 and I have always found that to be too high. Before the change to drops being tied to rep-timer I was getting about 1 drop in every 60-70 kills (arena farming) and your new numbers support that drop rate. Showing me the drop rate has not been nerfed.

Also, based on my current PVP IO farming I appear to be averaging about 1 PVP IO per 5 or 6 hours of farming. That works out to appx 12 kills/hour for 60-72 kills which supports your numbers as well (at least for drop rate not time investment.)

As far as I am concerned the drop rate has not been altered. It only it "appears" to be 1/100 or 1/200 because of being tied to the rep-timer and people are incorrectly counting non-rep kills.



Thanks for the effort

I find the actual drop rates kinda comical, but that's just me.
