before i go on, please use punctuation, the first paragraph was a bit of a struggle.
that makes no sense, though.
the player = the character.
the character = the player. there’s no wiggle room here. the player is literally playing their character, that’s why they’re called players. the character is being played by the player.
your last statement makes… zero sense.
also, in regards to -
it DOES slow them down. an 8/8 would complete a dungeon noticably faster than a 0/8, not to mention it’s fairly obvious who has the higher chance of death.
in the long run, even given infinite patience and energy to play RotMG, an 8/8 will always be better than a 0/8. that’s just undeniable.
