Since I happen to have the quote open for a different reason...



You can draw your own conclusions from there.

This isn't quite the same, though I agree with you mostly (I don't mind perks that reduce or mitigate DROPS only the kind that change attacker behaviour).

There's always an average player and the hardcore player.

The average PvE player probably isn't bringing down the dragon. The average PvP player probably isn't being chosen for the Siege Assault, and the average Econ player probably isn't sitting on a pile of gold the size of a small house.

So when Steven talks about crafting being important, he's not necessarily talking about the same thing we're even talking about in this thread. Most Gatherers at the level of 'Control the Economy' don't need protections, but this wouldn't be for them.

It is the duty of the Mayor to pay for the accommodations of the Mayoral Guard.

And semi-seriously related, do we really want a game where people are bickering over 'I contracted a bodyguard but they lost the fight so I shouldn't have to pay them since I lost all my resources anyway'.

Ah, the horror stories.
