Poll: Choosing a Covenant

Objectively, No.

Well not everything is simple and exists as a Yes/No (one-thingism)

Most min/maxers still have an element of RP in their game and the opposite is true. While I and many others prioritize RP, being powerful is still a priority. Making choices meaningful doesn’t work if there effectively is no choice or all choices at once.

It has no impact on YOUR game.

However, it does in fact objectively have an impact on the game for both RP and Min/Max to take away meaningful choice. Case closed

I’m in the role-playing side of things. I explained it best here:

@Furrymental-stormreaver

I feel like, as a casual RP player – I should support the “lock-in” approach. But I can’t understand why and what benefit I gain from a system like that. If I’m supporting a system that restricts others from playing the game how they’d like to play it, when there’s so many ways to play it, across classes with various roles- all so that…I gain nothing(???)… then I feel like I’m supporting a system that punishes other players that simply want to play the game more competitively than myself for no good reason outside of spite.

Even if there was a gain to be made by a player like me – at best it would make me feel bad and selfish about it. But without a benefit – it seems outright sadistic and hateful towards other players that just want to give their teammates/guildees their best. It’s supporting a system that punishes players for just wanting to play the game optimally – which is mind boggling to me.

If the system was changed to be flexible, and allow for players to change their covenant abilities like we can do with specs and talents – it wouldn’t take anything away from me for staying committed to a covenant. I would still have that option and don’t need to extend the consequences of that choice onto everyone else. As an RP player - I would lose NOTHING if others were allowed to change their abilities.
