it would seem to me that any FEATURE that allows np's to be
transferred be it easy or painfully slow allows the creation of super
factions.
Is this something we would want to happen? I don't think it was in
the plan when NP conservation was implemented.
Now add the fact that it can be achived through multiple ways. One I
believe everyone agrees is the giving of an artifact. Well if one was
going to quest anyways then this side benifit actually exceeds the
expected goals of Questing. IMHO, though I love NPC's I love NPs more.
:-) For you obviously don't quest for the gold, maybe initially you did
some questing to get breeding stock... by why keep questing?
