Re: Will Al Zahbi be Thrown to the Wolves?
I don't quite think I'm comfortable with this. Signet bonuses provide things that are useful to specific circumstances, even though I agree with the earlier assessment that its benefits amount to zilch in the context of mainstream xp/meripo. It'd wreak havoc on things like our trio to lose signet bonuses on our camps, and it's not like ToAU zones offer us much yet. I'd think TP loss on resting would create some issues for non-xp activities in signet areas. Basically, a lot of the value of these bonuses comes from the consistency of them; if you didn't know from week to week which bonus you were getting, you'd have no real reason to plan around any of them.
I think the ultimate problem is that SE expected the various benefits on these statuses to balance out and provide contrast. Unfortunately, that's just not realistic to this community. XP bonus will always win out over the other benefits. XP is either the bottom line or irrelevant in mainstream activity, it's never just 'nice'.
