[QUOTE="Lady Diamond, post: 92492, member: 216"] I'll throw my two cents in, I was in chat last night when the idea was mentioned and basically I think it's a good idea. We have "power players" who are here just to see how high they can go (and they work hard at it, and have lots of time to devote to it). Then there are folks like me, who love the action and the combat and the IC roleplaying as well, but who don't have all the time in the world to hang out online or play tons of matches. I still don't know how the folks with kids manage to play much at all. Frankly if I'd fought hard to get to say, tier 4, then had a string of bad luck and lost it all... I'd be very tempted to quit. My free time is extremely valuable to me as a working adult and doubly so, since I take a full class load at college as well. I have to measure where I spend my free time, and sometimes I have to make very hard decisions as to what to keep doing and what to drop. I play very conservatively right now so my one character doesn't lose too quickly what she's gained. I'd be willing to run perhaps one or two pure "fighting" characters in addition to my main IC character if there were some kind of "backstop" in place to keep players from losing it all, and making it possible to stay at the same rank after a loss is an excellent idea for that. *chink chink* [/QUOTE]
