I agree alot of jumping the gun here, but it seems that every single person is confused so why not change it, explain it better in the OP, or get rid of it all together? From what I gathered altogether it actually is just fluff to explain the function in the game, not actually a part of the RPing(unless we use it to justify why chars are doing certain things which means its still just fluff). 

Im still would like us to not start from the very beginning and just be mid level players so that those benchmarks and stuff don't become to prominent and leveling up/grinding isn't a thing we are always basing are posts about.[/quote]
I don't think anyone is going to argue that writing posts about doing nothing but grinding would be boring (I could be wrong here, so anyone who takes offense is free to voice an opinion), but I also don't think it's an inevitable problem that could result from the system. If the priority is the storyline and role-play, a character could be grinding in the background and become stronger without you needing to see how it happened -- exactly like how an anime or video game might present it.

Honestly, I don't think calling setting details 'fluff' is doing justice to what's being presented here -- I'm an extremely detailed writer by nature, and I quite often judge the quality of a writer - or role-player - by how extensive and fleshed out their world is or their characters are. You might call it 'fluff', but I call it making the setting immersive and alive. If you happen to dislike the content in question, that's a matter of personal preference towards the concept. If it's 'fluff' to add additional background information, then it's 'fluff' to write a backstory for a world if that backstory never ends up bring brought up directly in the narrative -- many writers do this.

That being said, obviously the OP should emphasize how significant to the role-play these elements are.
