Ryzom

I thought about making a Patch 1 style petition about the removal of crystals as a reward for owning an outpost, but realised that this would be very one sided. Please cast your vote. There are 3 options and an 'other' option if you vote this please specify what you would like to see. Poll open for two weeks, after that time i will email the results to Nevrax directly whatever the results are.

more info on the 70-90% of crystals removed option:
This would keep crystals in the game, but keep it to 4-6 outposts, these outposts would be heavily fought for in each region, nonwe of this FvF rubbish. Dog eat dog, quick rotation, PvP loving guilds may favour for this outpost. Rather than the 392000 crystal made daily. Personnally i feel it would, 1) stop the stagnation, 2) stop the (not pointed at anybody) greed

i vote other...mabey there should be a way to earn them without having to have an OP?..mabey mission rewards? or certain mission mats that could be crafted into them?..kinda like a stack of ammo...would then still require work for xp...something a lot of homins are forgetting about

Aye totally agre with you, sorry, dint make it clear, i meant XP crystals as an outpost reward, will try to edit to specify a bit more

I like crystals because they get "the grind" done and out of the way faster. For people who understand there is more than levels to Ryzom, but who are frustrated by being weak and lowlevel, this is very good. Half as much time wasted on levelling.

As for the older players who complain that their hard-earned levels are now worth less, well, I think that's selfish. It's sitting in your rocker telling tales of how you had to walk 40 miles to school, through the snow, without shoes, uphill both ways, and then saying everyone should still have to do that.

i don't think the point is older players thinking it unfair that you can now level twice as fast, i think the point is the crystals are tearing the community apart with greed and ruining the game for a lot of homins(not everyone, but alot)

Only if you believe the journey is the process of levelling.

were you not having fun before? or do you need xp cats to have fun? all i see now (like mentioned once before tonight is everyone are clones of each other) before there were excitment on reaching a goal, now everyone has already reached it and not blinked in doing so

Of course I was having fun, because I don't really care about levelling in any case.

Levelling is not the only goal possible, but high levels can help you towards reaching your other goals.

Take them out.
As a Limited reward in somthing like EP2 then was ok but this 2 tier society hmm no thanks.
Levels should be an equal playing field whether you chosse too PvP or PvE with them.
