[QUOTE="Phoenix8008, post: 4500874, member: 211"] Velmont, I understand what you're saying but respectfully disagree that gaining 1 level via DM credits every 6 months is too fast. That is a subjective opinion. I cite your own example of a DM running some adventure constantly for 3 years being 3 levels above a regular player. With the DM credits paying out twice that for L4W (every 6 months) our theoretical DM would be 6 levels higher than a regular player. Considering that we have a whole 30 levels to play with here in 4E, I don't really see a problem with that myself. YMMV however as can anyone's. I myself wouldn't mind seeing things sped up a bit. My first LEW character got started nearly 3 years ago and is only level 5. Granted, I haven't been DMing that whole time, and I haven't been able to get awarded my DM credits for my first adventure that I did DM for 10 months. I'd like to be able to play with some of the higher level powers and be involved in higher level adventures myself. Some people don't like high level play and thats fine too. But I'd like to have the option. I'm sure eventually we will be able to open things up so that players can have more than one character, so the DM credits would likely get spread around. And we already have 4 adventures going within the first month of L4W being open, so I don't think we'll have a shortage of DM's with characters that are a little higher level than the non-DM's. Enough to form at least one party with to play in some higher level adventures, I'm sure. Those are the reasons behind my opinion at least and my feelings on the subject. Just wanted to put out a competing perspective to yours for any discussion on the subject. :cool: [/QUOTE]
