well to be fair on blue that person who spent all that time gathering pixels will buff you, or join your group and pull like crazy, instead of kick the living crap out of you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Same thing applies to pve content though. If you're not geared for "Raid X" then you're gonna have a bad time.

On blue you don't have NPC's walking around geared with fungi/cof/wurmy/etc.. either.

a blue con player could completely destroy me on red without me doing a shred of dmg to them(solely based on gear). that is difference.

Rarely are you pitted against another player in game in direct "competition". The only time you really are is an FFA/Class C mob. And for those gear level doesn't factor in much at all. By that level players have decent gear and a basic resist set. If we had classic 255 resist cap it would matter even less.

And I use competition very loosely there.

Pixels and time spent certainly happen on blue. But it doesn't affect much of how others play the game. Someone having a fungi twink on red makes them pretty unkillable against an untwinked. Allowing them free reign to kill you and take your limited plat. If you got together some other untwinked and managed to overpower that twink you get some yellow text but no items to loot and he won't be carrying much coin on his alt so thats pretty useless. Preventing you from even exping or experiencing certain zones. Like unrest...

Someone having a fungi twink on blue doesn't influence too much at all. Just maybe there are less mobs available since they are killing more.

As an aside to that, nobody with any sense walks around with more than 20pp on them on red, ports (and such) are paid for in peridots or other gems.

Yes. But some caster exping in unrest (or any dungeon farish away from a bank) for example, the plat he would loot is far more valuable to him than the likely 0 plat a fungi twinked melee would have.

But still. Red is stupidly unbalanced, and any attempts to fix that become a custom server cause it was just like that during classic. Item loot would discourage or at least put some concern in twinking and griefing noobs. Even if bagquestting, still there's a chance you as a non twink could come up big if you teamed up and downed a twink. Whereas right now there isn't much benefit to winning that fight.

This is one of the many reasons people don't try red. Also why it will never have more than 200 people online.
