Unfortunately I am also of the opinion that OOC achievement should at least loosely connect with the IC power and backstory, it at least helps a little bit with immersion to be noticable
And equally as bad is the fact in the back of my mind it has really stopped me from diving into Roleplay in this game. My character concept is meant to be an aging, retired warrior of great prestige, and though I've leveled to 25 and leveled armor smithing enough to make a set of plate armor, it's nowhere near enough to content myself with the backstory I created for him.
Now if this was my main character - no problem - I'd keep leveling him, but I'm one of those people who has a main on another server and came to Balmung for RP. As a full time worker with a partner who takes up most of my weekend I don't have the time to dedicate to leveling up another character, and that really kills my motivation to RP at all.
My fault, I know, I'm just having a whinge. Love a good whinge.
