I figured they were a mechanic to reward people that spent time actually playing the game, but all it rewards is people AFKing. As BMJ said, Nature/Ind is the only slider that does anything. And so the serious players have two characters, one for farming and one for mining.
The trad/change slider does make it slightly harder to feed curios to alts, as you want to get them to full change, so you can't just spawn them and thats that.

how does tradition/change make it harder to feed curios to alts? you can still stuff curios into an alt before they're full change, you just don't get 3X the LP until they're full change.

This. I think the ind/nature slider is the one Jorb hates most.

I think Day should make you use/have less stamina and Night should give you more Perception.
And im not saying it should be a timed event either. If you are full day, even at night you use/have less stamina and you get a perma buff for perc if your full night. Night and day switch every 4 hours or so so only getting a buff during those 4 hours would be/is pointless. You a minner? Full day good sir. Hunter? Full night good sir. Keep your flask on you because the boars run you fatty!
Im not saying it should be a major buff like 30% but something more then pointless would work out better.

I'd prefer no sliders that affected things like LP gain or the consequences of death. And if there was a slider that's going to affect LP gain it should be small enough to not be an obvious choice (maybe 5-10%, but even that it would be a pretty decent LP buff). Gear bonuses aside, as it stands you can choose to earn LP at a 30% rate or 360%, the difference being a factor of 12. It's not even a choice at that point, it's go full change/peaceful then maybe afk for full trad if you plan on participating in some serious shenanigans the next day.
