#45561, "Yeah, see, that's the problem."
Edited on Sat 02-Jun-12 02:16 AM

There really isn't enough people around to rack up those numbers without playing an excessive amount of hours. I mean, it all comes down to the argument you guys are tired of hearing. You can listen to the less experienced or less skilled players on how to make things more enjoyable, or you can listen to the player counts. I have no real horse in the race either way and haven't for over 3 years. This change would probably be ideal when (not if) Zulg's no preps switch is flipped. But that won't occur either, they are going to more or less be allowed to run roughshod over the entire MUD.
I mean, Batman on what was merely his second or third character racked up nearly 100 kills with zero area knowledge, and veteran Rager players still gave him the middle finger with the proof in the pudding. That was a thread I brought up, by the way, with the pbf to prove it.
Robdarken for example has proven to be a better playerkiller than me ten times over. I would hate to see him play a rager berserker, because not only will he rival Graatch who managed to consistently die to me on at least one occasion even in group battles with backup, but he would probably get those numbers, or at least between 200 and 250, in under 200 hours. He's played enough orcs to know how an RBW should work. Not only could he do that but he would be less of a prick about it than Jerrokrar.
Now, you personally Mal would probably boot him from Village before letting him get that far because he will probably full sac most people who mouth off to him or very rarely are ultra-conservative or an actual threat. So, as far as being a role model, he'd be terrible. But I could see him pulling Quas' numbers without too much trouble, if he could be arsed to play anymore.
But all of that, including killcounts, really is besides the main point that many Maran would gladly trade Maran powers for Rager powers. Vindicators certainly could rack up more kills with DB alone on a shapeshifter than bloody shackles and loss of wanted, they could spank the Outlander cabal which is historically one of the more difficult cabals to raid right up there with the Destructor (I have solo raided both, so I do know what I'm talking about) and the long illustrious history of their killcounts really hasn't added up to the no magic restriction when they are standing around patrolling Eastern anyway.
