To start this off, this isn't a thread to vent,complain, or cause argument. I won't engage such, either.
As you all know, there was a recent announcement talking of multiple property ownerships, etc.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was surprised to hear that the player, can only own 1 quarter. Across the board.
Even if the surrounding areas you'd chose to live in is empty, you CANNOT take that quarter, if you've another on character 2, for example.
Which is semi-understandable but comes with draw-backs. If you're a player who is constantly involved,making and playing characters to 30 you will obviously come across the issue of storage.
You will come across the issues of your character not having a place to call home and being restricted in situations because of such.
I can understand if multiple characters of the same player are owning two-three quarters in the same area, that's an issue.
I don't see the harm in having a 2nd quarter completely detatched from any previous characters etc, in areas that would otherwise remain empty due to population. Are we really saying we'd prefer "dead" zones rather than having alts owning a property?
If so, why do they exist at all, except to drain resources from server stability
As to the title of this post.
As a "newer" player I see behaviours that would drive people from the game entirely. Due to painting with a broad-brush and assuming that because YOU have thousands of hours, years played that everyone else does. This is obviously not the case.
Player 1, constantly makes issues,ignores rulings being a bad sport etc.
Player 2, a newer player with much less interaction with DM's, practically zero rule breaks etc.
Player 2, shouldn't be treated by the DMs the same as Player 1.
I understand, DM's have to deal with a lot of foolishness, it can make some Jaded. If a DM is painting every interaction as if dealing with "Player 1" then you need to take a break. You're likely causing more harm than good to the community overall.
Not every rulebreak is intentional or even known and some grace should be shown for a time. Rather than a sledgehammer approach.
I intend not to get into any specifics and example above was hypothetical.
I leave you with this. If your time investment is not being respected then why stay?
