I totally agree. Sometimes I'll walk around with BRIEF mode off, just to appreciate the Immortal's work. To these power-rankers, I'd be 'wasting valuable time.' Bah. (n/t)

> I agree with the element of time limitation you pointed out, but I think there is perhaps a bit more to it. The power-rankers also tend (based on my 5 year mudding experience) to be power-pkers and power-gear people, etc. They tend to be the people who sweep through all nine circles of Hell as fast as their cheating little feet will carry them, fueled by information from past characters. Because of these correlations, I'm inclined to say there's a certain mindset to someone who ranks to hero in 40 hours or whatever. They don't care about some of the more interesting roleplay aspects of the game, like examining the areas you walk through and interacting with other players or mobs or what have you. Aside from missing out on half the fun of CF themself, they also dim the enjoyment that others derive from the game. (Ever attempt a roleplay-interaction with one of these people while grouped with them?)
