GENERAL

+1 Buddyb – I agree. I do not understand why the development team took away the purpose of roleplay, how civilizations and cults interact with one another just because people want to see another region of the game? If you are unwilling to change your fame or learn how the game mechanics work so you can indeed go anywhere freely sword-in-hand and not be attached, then you should not be rewarded with roaming an area just because you are unarmed. We reward those who complained (because how else would this have come into being) yet I read a post where people were unhappy with a tribal fame and roaming bandits’ suggestion most likely because they did not want to put the work in to make their toon safe – just wanted a free-ride. Why work on something only to have the tree not fruit? The game allows for an individual to roam anywhere freely (and yes armed) if you have the proper fame – yet I guess that way is too much work to ask…

+1 Buddyb do not change the fame based on the fact that you have equipped a weapon or not

I don't have a horse in this race ... but I do see a role for a class who can go freely anywhere to serve as sort of a diplomatic envoy, get a chance to enjoy the scenery, learn some lore, whatever. While serving as such, you would be unable to engage in PvP and stay that way for a time period after your visit.

To my eyes, unless I am missing something, it really ddn't change anything. I snuck into the Marauder Camp and managed to visit one of the craft vendors and was able to buy many craft plans beore I got dead.

Respawned ... rinse and repeat and I eventually got them all.... way before you could enter the ciry unarmed. However,just as I want every player to do the RP thing, I also want every player not to do the RP thing. Unequipping your weapon seems like too small a thing. to be able to flip flop all around. We have cooldowns for everything ...I don't see an objection to say "applying for a visa :) ", whereby you coud do a series of tasks to earn the right to visit, take a scenic tour and then after a period you gotta go home.

+1 Freddy - I agree. I figured-out the fame balance to do exactly that - represent all as a dipomat...I have no Q250 zone TP's - I have no Prime Roots TP's (Except for Nexus which is neutral) and I only have the tp's that are allowed to be purchased by neutrals...also, I do not PvP nor attend OP battles :P

And I can go anywhere freely weapon in-hand and be protected by all.
