#13614, "Hehe"

That's not true. If you spend 3 weeks puzzling something out and finally achieve the aquisition of the Widget of Wazoo, it's much less satisfying if everyone and their uncle also has the Widget of Wazoo because they looked up step-by-step instructions on a web site.
That means you like to be rewarded for exploration, not exploration itself ( or you like both, the reward and the process ). A rude analogy. There is sex and there are children ( as a result of it ), liking children is not the same as liking sex. I admit that there are players who likes to be recognized as badass explorers. ( And that's ok ). Just don't mix them with people who likes the process of exploration.
I'm not interested in seeing Carrion Fields turn into a text version of WoW.
There are cabal wars, roleplaying, player interaction that differs CF from WoW. Public game mechanics won't turn CF into WoW.
Talking about a level playing field, there's nothing to stop you from becoming an imm, doing a buttload of work for years, and knowing just as much as any of us do. We're equal-opportunity "employers".
You've hit a nail. Many actually join the staff to gain access to immknowledge. Though, perhaps, easier way is to sleep with staff elders. But I don't feel that I wish to win CF so bad that I would be willing to put years of work for that.
For me, doing buttload of work and thus expect to gain "deserved" advantage is similar to paying money for in-game perks. It somehow damages "fair" competition whether you to put money or work to gain advantage.
In ideal world I believe it should work that way: If you work for the game you gain respect, perhaps money ( in other games ), opportunities to develop the game as you see it, whatever else except one thing - you shouldn't gain competition advantage. And one of ways to achieve that - public game mechanics.
