About quali - Consider the 'good xp' to be the largest abundant mobs (happen to be mostly good or neutral, with a couple honourable exceptions), this requires a team. A team of three or more, and you get what? 20ish kills in quali? It doesn't really do a lot (Hardly makes a dent), but sure - I never said it didn't help. It's just not enough for a 'fix'.
As per data below, 20 elves from unsympathetic takes you to foul +1/3 to evil. 4 levels plus a bit.
You can see it starts to take more elves below wicked.
Now the "mostly good" areas was 35 trolls to a SINGLE level of alignment - From below neutral. If it follows the same expansion curve, it would be around 95 trolls from nice to sweet and 140 from good to devout.
We can also take the numbers about abundance once again.

22 rooms of 3 elves is 66 elves. More than Terel trolls(12x3+1), slightly less than Mithas(24x3+regenerations).
Note how i haven't even counted the single elves around in the forest? How many is there, 6+ spots i believe.
So, if we say 20 elves, thats a third of all elves. That would equal a third of trolls. If you're big enough and don't have to burn(and not too big and kill them too fast), lets say 3 spawns pr room, which makes troll total to 144. A third is 48, 1½ levels alignment.(Data insufficient on amount needed when becoming nice or above)
Vs the 4 from Qualinesti.
(Not to mention xp seems better in qualinost)

I never said I had a problem -managing- alignment, I have a problem with the alignment -system-. It's a silly mechanic that mainly restricts 'good' characters and prohibits early character development (in relation to guild choice vs questing - like Amberlee said, "finish goodie quests first"). The way I see it, alignment is a guideline for behavior, morals/ethics, empathy and so on and so forth, not a result of your mass-murdering habits.
We do agree killing as the only effect is a silly align-meter, it just is the only we have currently.
While we want changes the future, and many people are talking about it, it does not change our current situation.
Nor does it help to claim there is balance. As i said earlier, there might be theme, but there doesn't seem to be balance.
