Working for some vanity items isn’t bad and if I really had to I’d gladly farm rep again to unlock sethrak or arakkoa for example if it came to unlocking something i’d like to play as/use.
But that’s just it… you see something you wanna obtain, you engage with the game outside of rp to get what you want and once done you’re fine until you set your sights on something else, but that’s up to you.
Being forced to do content you don’t want to do on the other hand, isn’t fun.
Feeling like you have to do things to keep playing the way you want such as having to fish to keep firewater stocked during opening times for darkmoon or feeling easily left behind if you dont keep up with the powercurve with everyone ending up with 2-3 times your hp and more.
