If you're that elite, what are you doing away during the war? It doesn't mesh, and beyond considering believability and plausibility physics/mechanics/whatever-wise, it doesn't make sense for Ishgard to be content for so many young prodigies to leave during their time of need.I'm actually with you on this, but it's something I try to ignore.
I've never been secretive about my roleplaying standards or snobbery. If you're playing a 22 year old super-competent dragoon away on a diplomatic mission, I probably don't want to RP with you. On that same not, you probably don't want to RP with me either.
If we are to make a big deal out of this, then we should feel the same about the little 19yr female miqo crime boss that sips tea in the Quicksand all night talking about how deadly she is. (you know who you are)
We'd also have to disagree with all the 20yr old combat jack-of-all-trades masters in axes, swords, archery, lances, daggers. At 20, you're the master of hardly anything.
By the time we'd get done, there'd no one for us to RP with.
On the contrary, I've found that narrows it down to a very splendid selection.
