That certainly doesn't raise flags for all or even most RPers. For some, levels matter more than for others. There's several pages of threads one can dig up just on the RPC forums that demonstrate that it's hardly a settled debate.
That was an error completely on my part with phrasing. I never meant to imply that was how all or most people felt. I only meant that it raised flags for some. I certainly know that some RPers are comfortable with that sort of thing. I don't have to dig through the forums for evidence of that, it's been a debate for ages and I'm well aware of it. I was merely trying to get a better understanding of what M'raj was getting at (and he gave me the answer I was seeking -- a good one, too).

I didn't make any statements about his intent because I didn't know his intent until I read his reply, so I asked. If I said something like "this is definitely what I think you are doing", it'd be different, but that wasn't the case. Calm down, lol.

Not trying to equate gear with IC status - seems some community members are touchy about that.Â
* So, to be absolutely clear - I am not suggesting level and gear affect IC standing.
I had actually been wondering if that was the case, so I'm glad you cleared that up. Thanks for answering my questions!
