So whats so bad about the way things are done here?
We have IDs and its easy (possibly too easy) to get a tag to show your NPC alignment.
However, new players either don't get the system, or don't care and want only to fight.
I've spoken to several new players who point blank refuse to read the rules, let alone the forums, and they get downright hostile if you point out why they should.
So until/unless we can get ALL the new players to read the rules this discussion and your suggestions are pointless.
