The player list experiment

[Lemon]

This would protect newer players - there's a lot of oorp groups going after e.g. folks in my factions who go out of their way to gank them as hard as they can.

You run into the unsavory choice of either teaching them how to legally metagame and do what others (including many staff members) do, or just trying to shield them by e.g. moving away without them knowing this is happening in game etc.


For me personally, this would be a net negative as I am a vet who just reactionary logs and uses the tracking bots to tell me when.

But do I really matter? So what if people like Haste or me counter log others and this would turn us off - we aren't the people spending the most time actually playing the game, with all due respect, washed out has been vets who need specific players to be logged to even bother to play the game should be an afterthought when considering mechanics like this.


Protect the newer players and implement this across the board I say - even if a lot of vets start playing less, who cares - the players just playing the game without the need to metagame the player list are grinding many more in game hours anyways.
