It depends

March 29, 2010 06:47AM
If I play a character for 600 hours and you do too, and mine forces you to run every time we meet for 600 hours, but one time you kill me (and I never kill you, because you run off), do you consider that imbalanced in favour of you?

I'd argue it is unbalanced the other way, since you got to impose your will on me for 600 hours, and dying once to do that is a small price to pay.

(Edited: Meant to say "...since I got to impose my will on you for 600 hours...")

Clearly I've exagerated for example purposes, but the principle applies. Kill sealing and imposing your will is not the same thing. It CAN be the same thing, but it often isn't. If you, the evil, see me waltz in and take your cabal item 50 times during that 600 hours because you can't stop me, and I, the good, get killed once by you, is that imbalanced? If so, which way?

Jesus christ, com 'wrath' is bullshit at low levels.

That is what low levels are for. Co bash, or just get away without any fighting (n/t)

I think you misunderstand what the IMMs mean when they talk about balance

Except

I notice a huge difference.

As per Nep, killing neutral guildguards to get to evil is ok, even for paladins.

NeverMindTheWarlocks March 30, 2010 01:15PM

Yup, agree 100% nt. (n/t)

NeverMindTheWarlocks March 29, 2010 04:32PM

I believe this is more evocative of class balance than align balance
