It just seems that there's a clear way to "win" the game. If you make an elf with a background that starts with great armour, you're going to be 2-4 times as survivable as others. The amount of XP you get in exchange for random rolls during character creation don't come near to offsetting the hindrances you take by ending up a lowly ratcatcher with a bag of dung to spend on being able to afford a rib-bone to use in combat. (I'm only exaggerating a little.) The lop-sidedness of this harbors resentment in the players. There is such a wide gap in effectiveness, that a poor character should just stay behind to care for chickens.</blockquote>
