For the past year I've been experiencing the same frustrations over and over again. I've seen the community of adventurers consistently loosing their supplies to the military.
I'll first like to point out my view on the military. I feel that what our brave soldiers are doing is far beyond the call of duty that many of us have the luxury of declining. I respect and admire their devotion to this land and its' people. However, more and more I've seen adventurers taking up ranks among the enlisted.
What has this meant for us as an adventuring community? Well, in the good side of things we've gained new strings to be pulled. With Jonathan?s connections we were able to acquire a ward, free of charge through the kind soldiers at the barracks.
The downside? If one of our beloved ex-adventurers joins our group on an expedition, nearly all of the earnings we gathered along the trip are sent straight to the base upon our return. What do we usually see of it? Nothing.
We HAVE been given the courtesy of gold. And that is something not to be taken lightly as it pays our bills and keeps us fed.
To point out a particular note of frustration personally, is that the enlisted adventurers who partake in these "turn-ins" often benefit the most from the situation. As I said before, Jonathan was able to ask for a ward and they kindly obliged him.
But what of us? Granted, that ward helped me as well, but in such rare instances where things like that are to be given only to the select members of the military, I fail to see where we truly benefit from this on a personal level.
I also realize that the brave soldiers on the front lines are in just as much, if not more need of those items than we are...
I suppose in light of everything, I acknowledge the need for such activities to take place. I think it is just the frustration I feel on a personal, if not selfish level, from having seen a serious decrease in the acquired goods that remain in our possession.
