Removal of Combat Ability

[Kaden]

I believe CA actually gives an incentive to roleplay.

And a year's worth of only two people being active at a time shows that it's not enough of an incentive. People still earn XP for RolePlaying, which is still a method of "statistically" shaping your character. I understand what you're saying, Leo, but all it takes is a short look back to see that what we had wasn't working.

@Vad: Why was none of this brought up during the discussion about removing CA? You didn't say anything about feeling like you, or anyone else, was feeling like you're writing was "worthless." There are people who lost a lot more than you did with the removal of CA that haven't voiced these concerns. I understand that's not your point, but put things in perspective. Changes need to happen, and not everyone's always going to feel like they're fair; fact of the matter is that, to the people who are active and happy with the way the RPG is set up now, changes aren't fair. That's simply the way it goes sometimes.
