I had a character like this. In fact, a friend of mine once said
I could barely find my way from Galadon to the Forest of Nowhere.
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but he had a point.
My roleplay was strong enough to get inducted into Masters, and from
there I learned quite a bit. I definitely had much more fun.
Should people who don't know some places too well be denied the
experience? This game is about fun, right?

It might in a few cases, but honestly I could easily come
up with a given area someone might not know too well send
him down there, and watch him get the shit kicked out of
himself. That isn't exactly fun. I'd prefer that person
roleplay with me.

Of course, you have nothing to support this characters relative
worthiness or unworthiness. You've never interacted with
said character. His ability to roleplay might be quite good, and
he might be a much more worthy character than yours.
