> It's frustrating for me to put effort into something and not only feel like I'm being ignored, but instead slighted because others are reaping rewards (and I consider even some imm interaction to be a valuable reward because it's encouraging to know that you're doing something well from someone else's standpoint) and I'm left pissing in the wind.
If carrion fields were a for-profit pay-to-play game, then yeah, you could reasonably expect for all cabals to be treated equally with regard to rewards and imm attention.
But it's not. It's built around a volunteer staff. Consequently, some cabals occasionally get shortchanged in this regard, just because imms are people too and they spend their time doing what they enjoy.
This is something every player should realize before he creates a character or even dreams up a potential role. If you can't enjoy the game without all the rewards, then just limit yourself to those cabals which can support that requirement.
You chose Scion instead, and were disappointed when it didn't meet your expectations (i.e. treated the same as other cabals). Personally, I think your expectations may be a tad unrealistic.
