Punishing the Goodies for staying Good

[Megera]

<p>Well, i get my little Qeynosian out to do the dirty quests.  he's about 35.</p><p>I'm told to go and kill fairies. </p><p>The 2 hostile fairies i found *did not count*.  So the happy non-hostile 'good' fairies must be the ones we need for the quest.  That just figures.</p><p>Thanks for yet another quest i won't get to finish because its just whackamole to some people - its moving, hit it.  Don't worry about good, evil, right or wrong.  Don't think about the fact that its not hurting anyone, just kill it - its xp.  no one cares.</p><p>'Its just a game'.  Yeah, right.  Its supposed to be, or was, a roleplaying game.</p><p>Thanks for making my roleplaying fall flat again.  No, i wont' be finishing the quest.</p>

<p>I tend to play a certain moral code in the game, a left over from Ultima-4. I don't go out of my way to kill neutral/non-aggro mobs. Certain lore and legends like naga and cenaturs bothered me. Cenataurs was kinda easy to justify. They didn't like gnolls, so I killed two gnolls for every horsie. Naga....well, I killed the minimum necessary. But, I do kill. I avoid wholesale slaughter and don't kill outside of questing.</p><p>When I got all done (so to speak) I found that most quest starters were on neutral mobs...sigh....and so I'd missed alot. My desire to quest was at odds with my desire to avoid killing innocents.</p><p>Part of my fun in the game is setting onto a path and dealing with what comes up upon me because of it. I don't feel it's SOE's job to make my choices easy, it's up to my creativity to decide how to address it.</p>

<p>You know you can always rebuild faction with the Seamist fairies in EL. I'm sorry if the quest hampers your roleplaying. Just move to a different quest.</p>

It does not just affect goodies though. Spirits of the Lost has you trying to save Frogloks and becoming friends with a village of them. My Troll SK would rather eat them.</p><p>Some centaurs attack the settlement in the middle of TS - killing them should not be a problem for a goodie.</p><p>Similarly there are undead naga in Shimmering Citadel which do count for the L&L. Many goodies do not have a problem with the wholesale slaughter of undead.</p>
