Well, with my minirant there, I tried to make precisely the point I stated after. Removing liz doesn't resolve the problem. (And this goes for Honoun's comment too: What you said, was not my point. Even with the few of us hanging around outskirts, many are on different timezones. Like I've said, Liz mustn't be removed, 'cause currently she is -needed-. but get her healing rate decreased in time. make it 20 minutes IRL or so, until she heals you again. Is my vote.)
Being around low levels more, instead of always playing your high lvl characters, make a new one for support. ALSO, don't make an overly touchy character that get's pissed off at the slightest little insult someone makes, and refuses to help then. Swallow your pride and grow as a person, is what I do
And besides having an overly touchy female character who is super feminist, is so last year's anime, I find such characters rather dull to be around. Anyway! Don't remove things, try and ADD things that are helpful and interesting by yourselves. It doesn't help if you make a character who only helps those that are "Nice guys". Try making a "I don't care what you think of me, I'll still make sure you won't kick the bucket." character, 'cause those -really- help
I know this one will get alot of b-ing from players of sensitive characters
But I'll just say this: Before you complain about this, think of what I really meant. I'd like to think I'm among'st adults here.
If you still would persist in complaining about how your overly sensitive char is so interesting... Also then explain how exactly would he/she be of help to the low level characters who actually have a personality, other than "I am happy and I love equality" robots.
I'm sure many of you are dying to know what do I base this stuff, and I'm glad you didn't ask, because now I can tell you anyway: Experiences and experimenting on MY low level character Cord Skinner. That's where I base my words. Not giving any names, because that'd be immature, I'm going to give an example of how you precisely do not help the other lowbies on the server: He comes from a world where females have their traditional place in the society, and the mindset is "Men hunt, wives prepare the food."
When he said so out loud (He's also a bit of a smartmouth) and a certain someone outright refused to come and help his group at all. That sort of sensitivity, I'm sure, is very original and fun (Only that it's every female character I've ever run accross in the servers.). But that doesn't really help lowbies to survive. If your character wants to be like that, alright, but why not try an alternative: Engage in IC argument and tag along just to annoy this sexist fellow, and prove him that women belong in the adventure just as much as men do. I mean... if you're good enough in RP, IC battles of words between characters can be -very- rewarding to both parties involved. Some of my personal favorite moments have been IC arguments. What about that? You get insulted by a country hick, why wouldn't you tag along just to make his life miserable? OOCly, you'd make the players in the party have more fun, if you can handle it, and also make sure they don't all just croak.
I'm sure this divides alot of opinions. But I think this would solve the problem rather than removing Liz. If you help, the lowbies won't have to use the "Pocket healer" so much. To me it makes sense, at least.
EDIT: Really, I'm not trying to insult anybody here, and if I did so, I'm deeply sorry. This is my opinion, and by no means, do I declare it as ultimate truth. It is open for discussion, and a good argument against, can and will and might change my opinion overall.
Be a sport.
