Because if so, being long lived doesn't cut it. Long lived with no role will not get you much, if anything, in the way of imm exp. A role that the staff doesn't "approve" of will net the same. I'm not exactly sure how Imm Exp requirements are different from pay-for-perks except that at least with pay-for-perks the only limiting factor is your credit card instead of whether you write nice stories in English.

Obviously I hate Imm Exp requirements for anything (healing sleeves, Silent, etc.) and doubly so because the only reliable way to get Imm Exp (especially at any level below 51) is to write a role, which is supposed to be optional.

Either make roles required and remove Imm Exp requirements for stuff (or automatic 2.5k exp for role), or just remove Imm Exp requirements and keep roles optional. I don't particularly care which, but I'd sure like one of those.
