Greater incentives for Daimon based gameplay?

Having amusingly 'destroyed' an account I traded off into for the sake of generating naq to purchase a superior one by turning it into a Daimon (something I always wanted to do for lols) I started thinking...

(My brain nearly broke by the way).

Should there be greater incentives for people wishing not to play the ascended server and be a Daimon?

Many (and many very well known high quality) ascended players will argue that it's the nature of the game and you should be prepared to have to deal with accounts on two different servers. Granted, and I agree largely. However, there are some of us (probably many) that have absolutely no interest in the ascended server. I've always had an ascended account that has quite simply stayed well off the radar from those in main and I can hand on heart say I've never been descended. I've never been stupid enough to get myself descended. Anyway, I digress.

For those that would like to play as a Daimon, shouldn't there be far more benefits to encourage people to do so? I actually find that lots of players in the game these days don't even know what a Daimon is. It's like the forgotten option in the game and frankly, it's little wonder why as there's no properly balanced incentive to take this path.

What I ask here is for people to offer their ideas to breath a bit of life back into this chosen path and give it something worth while. Even it it's as simple as giving people a blue Daimon title as opposed to the red ascended one for example.

One of my ideas is to allow Daimon's to continue collecting GnR and to be able to cash them in in a certain manner, whether it be for naquadah, turns or UU or whatever other genius idea people can think to possibly implement.

Right now, it's a lost race, and a pretty much pointless one too, that sadly, in the beginning actually held quite a lot of promise for those who either don't want to play ascended as well as their main account or quite simply don't have the time too.

Your thoughts please GW people? If you have nothing constructive to add to the saddening plight of the Daimon race and only wish to bash people's choice to even contemplate the idea of being on with your huge hot head about how awesome you are in ascended and how much time you have to play the game, then please, simply, don't even bother posting. This is a thread for positive constructivism and ideas.

Much love,

DD.

Thanks for the link Malx. I see there's a bit of a crossover in the general subject of both posts, but I hope this one can better address the community (seems a little clearer - at least in my mind too, sorry). :smt060

I appreciate that.

Looks like the overall feeling of the community with regard to this issue is one of utter indifference. People simply don't care. Sad really as the Daimon race has a lot of potential. It would be nice just to get a response from Admin saying that he has no intention to improve the Daimon race even if that is the case.

Flogging a dead horse otherwise. Sometimes I wonder what draws people back to this game at times.
