Soon the demand for xp cats wont be dependent on outposts, and everyone would be more balanced out when R2 comes out. To prove my reason, I quote one of Xavier's former weekly board Q&A:

That is of course, if they did decide to stick with that idea.
We have discussed this extensively, and that may be true... but its dependant on:

1. The quantity of cats and method of aquisition. If it takes 3 days of intensive farming/grinding (for no xp while you are doing this remember, as nothing else transfers to mainland) to get 1 stack of q150s, then its not really a viable alternative.

2. The Karavan will still have _more_. That they dont have to farm/grind for. So they can be off _using_ the cats to gain xp while others are earning cats (and effectively doing nothing else).

I'm mildy suspicious of the whole Ring = cats equation atm, since we have so little information.

I mean, if you proved to be the best athlete, the best guy in the class with top grades, have the best job, and be the best looking, and be able to pick girls as you wanted, and be the best online pvper in the games you played.
All at the age of 18. Have you not EARNED your ego?
You also get respect, but respect is someone you get FROM OTHERS.
If you are the best, and stay the best, can you not SAY you are the best?
Have you not earned it?
I think you have, and therefor i say, EGO is something earned, it comes with respect.
Respect is the ego's sidekick :P

(and yes, i am 18, and i am all the above)

i thought your first post was a joke, seems it wasnt. you might want to do a little more research on this community, i doubt you'll find anyone who'll be impressed or even care enough to take notice of your 'ego' :)

Aww Run! But don't you see? The poor little guy _wants_ the attention. If you dont react and immediately flame him, he'll have nothing to do but dwell on whatever urges prompted him to make that post.

And then he may go into telemarketing.

Roflmao. Ego is not earned, it is something you are born with and is developed through the course of your formative years. An exceptionally large ego is normally indicative of other unresolved issues related to inadequacies in other departments, but we'll not go in that direction :)

An overly simplistic view would be that some people are born with unusually large feet, even to the point of being freakish- so in corollary, If the shoe fits...

hehe no matter how good your talents or achievement there is no excuse for ego and arrogance and while it might be possible to respect the talents of someone with a huge ego I wouldn't respect the person themselves.

An inflated ego doesn't need (nor will it ever get..) respect; it needs but a tiny pin prick to let the hot air out and return it to a size that's more suited to fit it's owner.
