"Arii has a big character, but she's also put in a *huge* amount of time getting there."

So? Somebody in a less unbalanced guild putting in the same time would not get near her levels.

You argue well for what I say \:\)

"Why is the current xp rate available to the more well-off guilds a problem? I don't see a problem with having high level characters,"

You see.. this is a PK/looting mud. That's why there should be some balance. That some guilds get so far ahead so easily is a problem in that regard.
