While it's true we haven't given karma a real chance yet, the worst part of Lusternia is quest burnout when you must quest. So no wonder we all hate something new that forces us to quest. Was the questing factor even mentioned in the original poll?

EDIT: Ok, I see it was The possibility that my character would die for not doing multiple quests never occured to me though.

Indeed, many thanks.

One thing that wasn't mentioned in the original post was the blessings. I consider these as bad as the curses, since even if you aren't cursed, you would need to do the quests to get the blessings in order to compete with other people who have done so. That much more 'grind' and forced questing.

One step at a time my friend.

I'd like to see the blessings toned down BEFORE the curses, actually. At least you can lift curses.

I think 24 pages in a thread pretty much exhausts everything to be said so I'm closing this topic. Feel free to start a new one.
