One of the problems with the current system is it’s self-ranked. Meaning a shell can classify itself whatever it wants. I am not sure how to get around that but I’ve been in linkshells before where the classification seemed off. I am sure that each LS has reasons for picking “heavy†in this instance, but I wonder if the RP content is consistent within that category.
Maybe we just do away with the classification all together and just list as much info as is available about each shell? Or maybe go by % OOC generally over the pearl(s)? I am not sure how this would work since the 2 pearl thing really messes things up… since I can see people claiming that they do RP while there is a lot of chatter in the OOC shell at the same time, so they essentially manage both IC and OOC at once. Personally I don’t understand how that’s possible, but maybe it’s just me.
Another idea is to break up the heavy category into OOC pearl and not. Maybe some info about how often the OOC pearl is used… because I personally would consider a LS on the lighter side if there is tons of OOC convos but very few IC ones, but the IC ones are technically “heavy.â€Â
Food for thought.
