Double Ranked Jobs

After all, a legal mage could easily disguise themselves to do a dark job.

For a dark mage there are no drawbacks to doing a legal job. 'Oh I got found out that I did a good deed. Whatever shall I do? Guess i'll go wipe out a village to even things up'.

Now a legal mage doing a dark job and getting found out that they did has consequences. If this was a real situation the magic council would certainly keep an eye on them and may even arrest them or give them fines.

In fact, why not have that as a thing. If a legal mage does a dark job they get reduced jewel amount from the job to indicate they've been 'fined' or something. Perhaps if they do enough dark jobs then they can be arrested or something? Add some consequence in is what I mean.


However, I do agree that all double ranked jobs should be able to be done by all mages or there should be specific ones for specific alignments e.g. 'you have to be part of an independant guild to take this job' for example.

We would however then need to keep an eye on guild hopper. Make sure say Bob is not in a legal guild, does the double rank job, then moves to a dark guild to do the next one etc

I feel like they should not be separated at all, and Mods should read jobs ( lets be real, they don't READ all the jobs ) to make sure that the conditions are met.

The jobs are separated based on how they're written. If they're written to be for legal mages, they go to the legal sections, for dark mages, to the dark section, for both, to the neutral section. Whether one has more 2x EXP jobs than the other is coincidental and not on purpose. From what I know, dark jobs are a lot harder to make because it's all cliche killing things and not as versatile in what legal mages are capable of doing without being the cliche murderous villain. If you want more dark 2x EXP, make them. No one's stopping you from doing it, just yourself. Rather than "suggesting" this change for more work on staff's part, take the initiative yourself.

I'm not trying to be rude here, but it's pointless to complain about something you can fix yourself. *points to the job creation board*

Let me point it out. Most of the double ranked jobs were in the Neutral section since they were created until you guys moved it to the Legal section for some reason I don't know and I find that decision really dumb. What I'm asking is to move the current jobs back to the Neutral section. You are just making up excuses of putting workload on staff when this is really easy to do. Yeah, I would create jobs for dark mages and for the people on the site but I don't consider myself creative enough to do those, otherwise I would've done it since the beginning of time.

Besides, like Zack had just stated above, there shouldn't be any limitations on what kind of job they want to do because MC doesn't really care and dark mages are able to break rules. Because you guys are restricting too much on trivial things like this, dark mages can't actually have fun with the missions.

I'm a little hurt you'd think I'd make up excuses for the staff as a whole. I'd rather not be accused of that at all. What the other staff does is what they do and none of my business unless it personally involves me. 2x EXP jobs were fixed up and edited when there was an overabundance of them and people were starting to complain about it. I was not on the dev team at the time of this happening and the purge of double EXP jobs. However, I can say that it's not likely they will be moved back after what Dev has gone through, but that's just my thought, not theirs, don't get angry at me for it.

Dark mages can have fun without having to do both legal and dark missions, that is up to the person on what they want to do. If they feel like they can't have fun without doing legal missions, perhaps they shouldn't be a dark mage at all, but a guildless one? At that point, they can do both legal and dark without having to worry about the restrictions and labels of each "alignment." Again, this is just my thought, don't hound me about it.

And this is coming from a dark mage who's done double EXP jobs that are not legal.
