We are real people, and when we started playing this game we had the common understanding that we would be playing other real people and act thereafter. I hope you are following me.

Hitting a real person online/offline a lot, gives consequences, it can make you either feared or not popular, so in the end everyone will have to limit their attacking to not become the only person in the game people can be without. I can dig up some threads if I can find them about Cass.

If Zenith were to implement new NPC that would be sufficient targets to level on for the top people, then she would remove that barrier of personality and remove that thing about attacking which we need, namely consequences. I know that you think Pullo that attacking for you doesn't have consequences, but it does, only not in the way you think.

I think we shouldn't make more NPC's and give the ones that have broken off from the food chain in the game a chance to make it a bigger difference. (Cleverly linking Experience points to the food chain, talking about food chain in the sense that almost all players can give and take xp to and from others.)

I'm perfectly fine with for example Usha or Punisher hitting me online a few times a day, they are stronger then me, so I have to live with it until I can return the favor. And if I whine about it and threaten with hospitalization wars until they quit, things would only get worse. So I spend 5-6k a day on stims for stimming out when hit either on away or cause I log in when in hospital. And it's perfectly fine.

My question: "Then, if you can have it easier to level. What should be done for the lower levels to make it easier for them?", is linked with this, "We are real people, and when we started playing this game we had the common understanding that we would be playing other real people and act thereafter." If the top people don't have to play the game with any consequences, what can be done for the lower levels so that they can play the game without consequences and in that level just as fast? Implement 15 more NPC's that doesn't have hospital time? Implement so many NPC's that we in the end don't play other real people?

That's not what I signed up for.

PS: you know you can answer multiple posts in the same post right?

Dru, Read the rules of the game. OOOOOhhhhh let's not attack people because this isn't a war game. It's a hippy commune where we grow our own food and sing songs of freedom around the campfire.

Real people who sign up to play a war game shouldn't be upset at being attacked online or otherwise. If attacks bother them that much, then this game is not for them.

And it is not my problem that some people don't donate. That is their choice for which there are consequences.

Why should I or any other high level player be punished for donating or putting a lot of time into the game?

If you work hard, you get better than others who don't work as hard. THAT'S THE NATURE OF THE GAME.

I play this game between 12 and 16 hours every day. I should be better at it than those who neither put in as much time nor donate.

Finally this online attack stuff doesn't affect the lower levels. They give very little experience. They neither need nor deserve any compensation. No one gave me any compensation when I was a lower level and it would be unfair to provide it now.

LET ME REPEAT.. THE HARD PART OF LEVELING FOR HIGHER LEVEL PLAYERS IS THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO MOVE UP.

People who are afraid to fight or don't want to be onlined at this level should go play a Sim game where they build an ant farm or some such nonsense. This is obviously not the game for them.

If donators become stronger faster and that's a problem for you, tell Zen to do away with the option of donating. The problem is, you'd have a crappy game because there would be no money to pay for servers or to compensate Zen for writing endless code.

I play hard and have donated and have benefitted from both. I refuse to subscribe to imaginary rules just because someone doesn't like it. Like I said, those are the people who should find a NON-COMPETITIVE game to play!
