Gnome racial - NO RENT just keeps people logged in, and wastes electricity.

[Malleable]

Im sure that most people dont care, but I find the NO RENT tag on the Gnome Racial crystals to be pointless, and thats just one of the problems I see with the ability.

First, the NO RENT bit. So what do people do? Just leave your character logged in. But what is the point of having no rent anyways. The items are no trade. All the gnomes I know just keep their characters logged in constantly so they dont lose them. All this tag is doing is increasing pointless energy use.

Second, the cool down on the device only counts timed playing. This is just one more reason to leave a character logged in. But if the items are no rent and no trade, whats the point of having the timer based on play time, rather than real time.

Third, both these issues only affect those people who can't play long lengths of time, and the devs use to talk about how they wanted to make the game playable for people that could only play for short periods of time as well as those that could play for long stints. Quests that could be completed in sections rather than require long periods of time, but I think this goes along with the playtime length problem that some players have.

I know, a racial is not a big deal to most people. But I do like the gnome, and the racial is very interesting, but the no rent tag and timer cool down only force people to keep characters logged in. It serves no real purpose.

How about changing it?
Thanks,

The cooldown should lower with logged out time, I agree. But the racial is NO RENT because it wasn't intended, if I recall, to be a large stock-up of consumables but just a nice random bonus every once in a while.

i think they should include logged out time, but increase the cool down and having it as no rent seems alittle odd since youd have to get new ones everytime you logged which atleast would have you have to stay near town if not logged in all the time, so it should prolly be gotten rid of, seems pointless.

What's the racial you're talking about, and what does "RENT" even do, anyways?
