also a whole bunch of players start with debuffs which means they have no way to even think about the higher content. sometimes you have multiple, and its mostly random whether you can actually do anything about them or not, and more often than not if you can get rid of them then youll be putting in way more effort than anyone in the 1% did

also, theres a whole bunch of starting areas you can get, which one you get is random, and each one has different resources, enemies, access to quests and gear, etc., so the majority of the people in the 1% just got the best starting area and no debuffs. unfortunately people defend this uneven system because it IS technically possible for someone with lots of debuffs and the worst starting area to eventually claw their way to the top, although very few manage it

It doesn't help that the alternative system renders playing the game completely pointless due to the only thing that matters being how loyal you are to the game.

However, I think we can agree, political ideology makes for terrible mmo design.
