Rest State

[Jarulf]

I remain convinced that the rest state will be helpful to my play experience.  It won't benefit me personally, since I tend to play my game of choice 30-45 hours per week, depending on work and relationship.  But it will help many of my friends who are casual players to level more quickly, and will lessen the disparity problems our groups experienced in EQ and DAoC.

Doesn't that mean that they have to skip many things in the game since they "rush" thorugh it to keep up with you that play more quests and so on? Also, currently, they will be lacking skill points since they reach the same level faster and still be less good and so on.

If one want a system were people can always play together regardless of how much one play, the only real solution is a system were one enter ones level each time one want to play, hardly good.

The "best" in my opinion would simply be that each player set their own difficulty level or whatever, that will dictate things such as how much exp they get. That way, each one can chose how to play instead of having the game force them down a specific road that can't be affected.
