well, I still disagree.

If someone retires, I believe they should have the option to take their character out of the 'xp pool' if they so choose. After all, it's you that spent the time building the character up.

If there was ANY benefit to be gained from retirement district, I'd be of a different opinion. As it is, if you choose to go there, there should be;

a) a limit of one time- if you retire and then return, the retirement district is closed to you, permanently. You can't come and go as you please.

b) a minimum stay. If you retire, you can't just change your mind and come back in a week, there should be a 3 month minimum timeframe. If you want a break from the game, just leave your account as is- won't change anything.

But for those that have played for a long time and wish to leave for personal reasons, or in-game reasons, should have the right to remove their character from the pool. I don't see why anyone here has the right to demand that someone leave their character to work as an XP cow for the playerbase, not in the slightest.
