Talk:Player-owned port/Standard voyages

Voyage difficulty is a relative value
The same voyage is being assigned to different players with different difficulty levels. See, for example, X Marks the Spot, which has the same voyage (adversity 600 600 600, reward 200 Chimes) shown with two different difficulties: 3 and 4. Furthermore, I have also had several of the voyages shown, with identical adversity and rewards, but showing different difficulty levels. When I attempted to correct what appeared to be a data entry error, the correction was reverted, and I was scolded for deleting another player's voyage. Apparently, the admin had corroborating evidence that the difficulty level was correct for the player who had posted the voyage, and was different than the value shown on my screen.

All of this indicates that the difficulty level shown is a value that is relative to the player's ability to complete the voyage, not an absolute value that will be the same for all players. I suggest that the difficulty column be removed, or we will end up with 5 copies of each voyage.

This page is also in desperate need of cleanup, but the admin also reverted even my basic attempt to sort a group of voyages by adversity level, so I will leave that task to the admins. Shogo Yahagi (talk) 15:30, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
