Puh-leeeze...
If you have a character with X megs of exp, a SS and a given EQ set... and you
have another character with same exp totals, same SS, same EQ PLUS boons...
you can't argue that the second char outrocks the first one..
Question 1) Is that fair? Sure, donations/completing tasks should be rewarded.
Question 2) Is the reward too high, thus making game balancing difficult? Hell
if I know, but I'm pretty sure that was Huppu's original point here...
