I know why it's being proposed and the reasoning behind it and my point still stands. I don't agree that the nobility needs to be scrapped or reset. I think it should be reworked and given more purpose in the region. I especially feel like the parts of the nobility could act as assistants to Dave in his RP Mod duties, especially in some of the more controversial rulings. All the current nobility earned their title and don't deserve to lose it just because some people don't like the system.
The reason I don't think the nobility should remain is two fold
1. We've no system for what they actually do. Its a fancy title and most regions on NS have titles for people that actually do things. It gives those holding a perception among newcomers that the "Nobles" are the people in charge. Therefore when you those of us who have recently joined see all the nobles effectively in a clique together and when you say anything about that group in an IC sense you get grief, or if you try and RP something that could potentially challenge that group being powerful it gets gamed. It therefore left me and several others with the feeling that the nobility is all about highlighting the "Superpowers" in the region. Add to that there are people with the title who contribute nothing much to the region it seems pointless having them and infact the perception it creates does more harm than good.
2. The last noble titles seem to have been given out years ago. If you look at the list of nobles on this forum over a third of them aren't active. One is actually banned from the region. Are we saying that in his four years in the region someone like Markus who is one of the best writers, super supportive of people , ultra creative doesn't deserve to be called in a noble but a guy called MikeRaven who last appeared in May 2018 does. If MikeRaven reappears he gets to keep his title. The system is inherently unfair and doesn't actually recognise the people who are currently in the region. It just seems to be about preserving a system of an inner circle.
