[QUOTE="Aelryinth, post: 8711968, member: 10515"] I'd posit that you're ignoring Alignments. As long as the setting has Alignments, what you're basically saying is that you can't see a Good system here, but only a LN or LE one. What is being noted is that the people in charge are Good, and so the system works as it is designed to do. As soon as you stick in some Neutrals or Evils who exploit the system for their own benefit, you will get the alterations and less efficient, grimmer results. As for the backgrounds, same thing. They are designed in society to help everyone get along and not conflict, and people are aware of this and so go along with it. As soon as people start protesting and fighting back and not believing in it any more, the system will collapse into something grimier and darker. So, take Alignments into account. Like she said, it's hopepunk, trying for a better day, and looking past some 'flaws' that really aren't that important on the face of things, and which magnifying would collapse the whole system to nobody's benefit but a few.
