I agree with Yarglen, everyone can die, even beefed up Role Contest winners/Leaders with quest abilites. I was never debating that. More saying why make an already tough-to-kill character tougher? None of the n00bs he is fighting have cool rewards yet...(because they are n00bs) so how is that fair for them?

We (the entire playerbase) are engendering a culture whereby if I don't get rewarded, I then feel slighted and cheated. We have n00bs asking about quest forms before they ever rolled a shifter. And that's a ####ing problem to me. I can't tell you how many posts I read on Dio's or here about people bitching about rewards. It's absurd.

And for all the people who say it's always like that, well, maybe we should try to fix that?
