CF is a competitive, PK MUD. Regardless of what you compete in, at some point everyone wants to feel unbeatable and stomp shitholes in everyone. To some degree its kind of why you play "games".
With CF if you really look closely you realize you either have to have
- Super insane gear (Pick one of anyone)
- Super insane weapon (Cabdru, Ravon, etc)
- Super insane combo (Entropy lich, etc, mostly imm combos that just same time got mysteriously "buffed" like w-elf villager weapons)
- Super insane area knowledge to abuse OP shit like leave Silent Tower with 12 hours of sanc, 12 hours of haste, resist everything, and have healing progging items with res-positive etc.
When you look at all the above, the imms nerf and gatekeep both numbers 1, 3 and 4 leaving basically only number two as means to real power for anyone who doesn't want to suck dick. Small wonder all the big abuses of OOC grouping took that route (Gzurweeg, Ravon, etc).
