Basically, that as dungeon masters and game administrators, it seemed like they had abdicated most responsibility. They do a good job with rules enforcement but less on the DM side, sadly enough. I appreciate the events and such but those aren't really my thing.

Interactions and rewards, big and small, just aren't around much any more. Like some of the ones you mentioned, but also:
- quest forms
- remember when the dude got Barrier spell as a reward?
- I got a sweet edge once for a little old trivia question (apiarist)
- those A-P weapons are rockin sweet
- this guy got Hunters Instinct as a RC reward. WHUT? how awesome.
- or that felar ranger that got spoils of the hunt
- or 3rd and 4th legacies for grinding out against overwhelming odds day in and out

Honestly, I don't care about your 100 immexp adds. Those are like fractions of an edge, fractions which for me never add up to anything whole.

I don't understand the cautiousness with rewards. WTF does the Sunwarden not have a quest form? It's been a year and no quest forms, for real? Was Gliverspitz the last one to get recognized (kudos to him)? There's more to be done. I'd rather hear complains about over-rewarding than this hands-off, do little to nothing approach of late.

Also, cabals suck. CF is about friction and conflict. Why has it gone in such the other way lately? Status quo, more like status no.

Please. Do something.
