#57190, "Please explain the 'good' reason behind these requirements?"
Edited on Mon 01-Dec-14 08:26 AM

          

As a player, I see no benefit whatsoever to these requirements, so I am curious what the hidden benefits are perceived to be. IMM xp requirements for access to areas/quests etc have long upheld the appearance of IMM favoritism, I would've hoped that changes made to edges/explore/obs/imm xp/etc would have done away with mechanics that allow for favoritism. Let's be real here, IMM xp is based on nothing more than an 'opinion' of a staff member. What any 2 given people consider 'good rp' is going to differ. Some of the most well RP'd characters I have encountered have been ones who had little to no immortal xp.

Also - it seems like you guys just upped the "time-sink" that edge gathering already is. Could you not be persuaded to reduce the time sink, as the "time sink"...is in fact...one of the most complained about "issues" on the various boards I read.

I can only hope that you all read this as constructive criticism, and I hope anyone else that feels the same way I do chimes up as well.
