#47465, "I brought it up because of Tavlin."
|
And I wanted to give a perspective from someone other than IMM character.
Tavlin got Advisor very early. A LOT of people were upset about that (I wasn't, Tavlin was ####ing awesome) and they felt that the IMMs had to know he was Twist and that's why he got rewarded the way he did. Him being named Advisor WAS EXACTLY THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT GOT GHRIM NAMED COMMANDER. Re: Global quest (Reksah had put something out that the next Advisor would be a necromancer).
I'm sure if it was up to Twist he would have been happy never being named Advisor that early because A) He wouldn't have to deal with people bitching on his death thread/OOC forums and B) He wouldn't have a giant-####ing bullseye on his back (though Twist might like this more than a player like me) for the rest of the players to aim at. I know for a fact people had OOC hatred for Ghrim getting Commander at such a low level and these people were intent on either killing/looting me or proving I sucked and didn't deserve it.
What I was trying to get at re: the low hours comment, was that 99% of the playerbase has no problem giving a reward to a dude who has 400 hrs and is a leader. Yet often, your life as a leader is SIGNIFICANTLY easier in that situation than that dude who was just named leader at 45hrs. So how do you reward those low hour characters? Do you even reward them, or do you wait until they've toughed it out and hit 100 or 200 hrs, heroed, etc? As I said in my experience with Ghrim I didn't need any rewards other than the IMM interaction I got from Thror and playing my role the way it was supposed to be.
That's kinda what I was getting at.
