This is a question to the guys who hate the old age mechanic. Are you guys playing with death scales? When I take growth scales, I can go years without getting an afflicted old age mage, and when I finally do get afflictions on my mages, it is usually just one or two mages out of the bunch.

This reminds me of the thread where people were upset about populations not increasing when a growth scale was not taken. People complain about the growth/death scales and fortune/misfortune scales being trivial and taking a backseat to Order/sloth. Then I see a lot of people complain about mechanics in the game that are directly affected by those scales that were listed as trivial before.

Maybe players should take a second look at what scales they consider to be trivial scales instead of wanting the benefits of those scales modded out of the game?

Most people hate the old age mechanic, and most people think that taking a death scale on your pretender is a no brainer. Is there a correlation?
