Probably... not as much currently since they don't have as much power. The problem is, we aren't really sure how much power we do and don't have right now, which is an issue. They could be stealth killing abusers or telling hearers to stealth kill abusers and we would never know.(06-09-2015, 01:36 PM)ArmachiA Wrote: but it makes sense to me that if the Elementals can gift it, they can surely take it away. We know the Padjal can use the Succor only because the Elementals say they can - what we don't know is if there's a way to get around the Elementals for that. For this, I prefer to be safe until the devs tell us otherwise.Wouldn't the Elementals have taken Succor away though, if they could have instead of the big flood? Granted the WHM were only half of the situation but they were still 50% causing the "end".
(Again I say "to me", as this is just my opinion and only mine. In fact the whole "I believe the Elementals can take away the use of Succor." doesn't really factor into my guild running since there isn't enough evidence to set a rule on that - though some people believe as I do and did a storyline around it. Just a disclaimer)

That is how I would want to be treated. It's called common courtesy.
/anecdotal evidence: most new players who come into my guild are really happy that we're willing to sit down with them for hours at a time and discuss lore to make sure they are within the boundaries of it and make sure that their character is exactly how they want it to be while being lore appropriate. Most newcomers don't know lore or really where to get it, they usually just build a character of what they assume and are pretty grateful when we work with them to smooth out their story. Sure it takes time, but most - if not all - have been grateful for us to teach them instead of ignoring them and letting them do whatever.
