Exodus
Yes, we all play here but at least bear in mind, your actions also impact all the communities and MY CONCERN once again, (people seem to either ignore it or just don't reply to the point) is that your role play makes the end game (getting the best armor etc etc ) easier and it will corrupt all the role play communities in doing the same, as in no faction role-play.
I did not ignore your concern Exodus, but I challenged the logic of your assertion, as have several other people in this debate.
Let me see if I get this straight.
1. You think that there is "end game" content. I don't, and I don't think you can call "end game" unless you have mastered all skills and know every square meter of Atys. I know of few of the former and none of the latter.
2. You think that if I have some of the "best armor" that it somehow makes the armor you are striving to get worth less. I challenged that assumption in my first answer to you and you have not addressed it. Ryzom is a positive-sum game. There are infinite raw materials to be had. The only way to keep people from having stuff is to get it and destroy it.
3. I infer that you think that the only "true" form of faction role-play is one in which each faction is wildly intolerant of the other faction. Not only do I not believe this, but others have given examples of what I see as true faction role-play in ways that are not wildly intolerant.
Will the Arispotle Syndrome put an end to extremist faction role-play? Possibly, but only if people leave or don't want to play it. Will it put an end to all faction role-play? I doubt it very much.
