Grouch isn't a muppet, you muppet.

Again, shows what you know. =)

Doing occupations doesn't require cats so do those in your downtime, but I agree leveling without cats is not productive and alienates players without direct access to them, that's the misconception nevrax had when they brought in cats.

I really didn't like the idea of cats. I thought it ruined working hard for something.
I have never used cats on my main. Yes truthfully. Which is the reason I don't have any up to 200 yet.
But I enjoy exploring, and working at it. But that is me. Many can't seem to play without using it.
But then I have never really paid attention to levels, mine or anyone else's. I play for the enjoyment and friendship I have made over the years. I have many dear friends all over the world I would never of met with out Ryzom.

[quote="411thraven"]How many level say from 240 to 250 without cats these days?

I know it's possible to level without cats, done it myself in the distant past. But if you can use cats (like you can atm) then the majority of people will because it's the sensible thing to do. Cats are ingame which means they are a valid way to level a character. Not using cats serves no real purpose unless it's just a personal quest you are on.[/quote

It's the journey not the destination grasshopper.

Myself and a good part of the bunnies use cats only for crafting. I'd be in favor of your proposal to dump cats, if they increased the xp rate for crafting ONLY. I'm in my 7th year on Atys and in no rush to get anything finished.
