Or rather why is a clean employment history listed as a positive? I`m trying to get my head around the downside/upside?

Thanks TBV

I can’t speak for everyone, but I wouldn’t care if I was buying. I’d be more concerned about things like price per SP and how that SP was allocated (and to a lesser extent, what the character was named). Oh, and do note that character info sheets will now say if a character has been transferred between accounts.

Sounds like there is no actual negative to a history then. Its just a psychological thing - virgin territory I guess is attractive 🕶
