Most of your characters have a pretty good understanding on how to maximize skill spamming, get access to questy gear, maximize quest XP and observation XP, etc.

Being the developer of something is like a min-max'ers dream.

Now, that doesn't mean you're probably not good at PVP in your own right, but it's definately not "level" and you'd be kinda naive to think so. Same for wand locations. Same for preps. Etc.

I mean, it is what it is. Whenever you have secrets that confer power, people who know the secrets will be more powerful just as a matter of design. Some people like that 'strong get stronger' kind of system, it keeps newbies weak and veterans strong and gives them an uneven playing field which they can use to mash down people who don't stand a chance. But to compete in that system on a high level favors either the treadmill or the cheat ring.

But my post is mostly in response to : "I genuinely don't know how to make people happy on this one and if someone comes up with a solution I'll listen to it."

I mean, it is what it is. People know how the system works. They like being elitist when it favors them, they hate it when its used against them but anyone looking for a level playing field in this game is looking in the wrong place. If it's really going to upset you that you can't compete against a Twist char then like what did you really expect?

A newbie can never compete against a veteran and a veteran can never compete with a few of the Imms who know a lot nor can they compete with people like the russian cheatz and their OOC wand lists. Well, they can but they'll just be at a heavy disadvantage - by design.
