That seems a lot more reasonable than some comments I've seen about the use of level in judgment. Â That said, it's going to be hilarious when I finish leveling my alt, and people see her as a level 60 monk. Â My goal is to make her the inverse of a powerful low-level character. Â She's going to be a high leveled character who's just plain bad. Â The 'skilled adventurer' assessment with her would be completely wrong, if someone presumed that about her. Â
I think that's part of why I wondered about the level bit.  Glioca's only a moderate swordswoman (she can bash other things and not hurt herself), and a much better healer, having had far more experience with it.  The alt I mentioned, Liviana, I plan on spending a week soon and grinding her out to 50, at least, but she's just so terrible at fighting, because she has almost no hand-eye coordination. Â
She's not likely to pick a fight with anyone, and would sooner run from battle, but there's still that imbalance if people look at her level and don't just interact with her first to realize certain things about her. Â Maybe it's the fact that I've played so many years free-form before MMO RP was a thing, that I have such a drastically (apparently) different view than others. Â There were no such things as levels for gauging character strength, just how well people wrote. Â
Thank you for being so candid, and explaining it a bit better though. Â I will say I tend to like your method better than most.
