bad news for Velium farmers?

[Dariell]

Hunting Velium in CC, there is now a negative faction hit to Dwarves of Froststone when you kill Ry'Gorr Miners and Watchmen. Bad news for those who farm velium and use the new forges there. Hope it's just a bug!

Mutter. I use the town a lot to sell the other junk as I get velium. I'm curious why this change was made. It seemed the orcs and the dwarves coexisted independently like the gnomes and goblins in sola. Even in the lore, Glight Snowchipper, who founded Froststone, had no apparent affinity for the orcs. The dwarves and orcs remained guarded enemies.

I'm guessing the faction hit is supposed to be positive.

There are a few reasons why it might be negative:

1> Attacking the orcs might reveal the existance of the dwarves.

2> The dwarves have allied with the orcs against the giants. I doubt it.

However, I'd bet dollars to donuts that the faction hit is backwards. =p

There's a thread on this in <a href=http://mboards.eqtraders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=271>general discussion</a>. The current theory is that this was intended to be the postive hit they mentioned possibly adding, but someone screwed it up. Suggestion is to bug it.
