Small piece of free life advice for you.
Every time you want to say this (or a variation of this) to someone on the forums, the issue isnt that they aren't being honest, the issue is that you have not communicated clearly.
You do get your knickers in a bunch.
Made worse by the fact he is right… which makes you wrong….. again.
Corruption from magic is not the same as corruption from negative action in PvP. It is confusing but I am also fine with "Bounty Hunter" I would be up for changing the PvP word for Corruption to Hate or Reputation or some other thing that does not make the lore confusing.
I'm just talking the source of corruption here. Corruption of Verra itself and player corruption are basically the same thing, and their origin point is the magic of The Ancients
No they dont.
I'm not sure which part of the above you are disagreeing with here.
Since we are talking the games lore, not game systems, it is just an outright fact that player corruption and world corruption are the same thing. Like, that isn't really even up for debate.
We know the origin of corruption is that it is a result of The Ancients magic - also not really up for debate.
The only argument left to make is as to the nature of magic itself in Verra. Those few people clinging to the notion that because there was a single use of the word "spirit" in relation to corruption in Ashes, that must make corruption religious could make the argument that all magic is religious.
Unfortunately for them, since the term "mana" can be synonymous with the word "spirit", Steven saying that "corruption tarnishes the characters spiritual essence" (the only statement at all that anyone has for claiming corruption is religious), could just as easily be read as "corruption lowers your mana" as anything else.
What is absolutely sure though, is that in a game with actual religions, when the term religion has literally never been used in relation to corruption, the notion that corruption is religious in nature is nothing more than people grasping at straws.
