Daomei as far as I am aware the fame level for safely entering cities is classed as a bug and is to be changed so that just being mara will be enough to make guards aggro. That will make sneaking in impossible in Pyr/Zorai and possibly FH. Yrk is doable. I think having our own is more consistent: why should occ npcs talk to us when vendors etc won't?
It is not about making it easy that I think we should have higher occ npcs in camp but to make it fair and consistent. I am not saying mara should have it all, but if mara don't get higher occ access they should have something else that only mara can have. I think the same should be true with Rangers. Make these two factions different from the religions. Yes make them harder, but give them things that make this worth the trade off.
Yes the zun crystal is superior, and I think that is offset by other things we can't do such as use hawkers etc. We shouldnt get it all, but we should at least have a finished faction! Yes we have more tps in PR but we have less on surface and NO respawn point in camp. The pros from mara need to be balanced with the cons. The access to almati and to occs is not balancing a great tp system but a legacy of an unfinished faction.
