This page would disagree mate. An occasional revolt is fine. Constant revolts are.silly.
likewise, its a given slaves level faster than their masters. They're constantly being taken out on adventure., They don't engage in politics, and if people see a slave moping about because their master isn't online, they drag them along.
Slaves throwing their weight around is silly. If a slave is constantly revolting, what recourse to PCs have? A violent slave is like a rabid dog. If it can't be trained to behave, it is killed. It's not fun for the owner to constantly have to beat and kill an unruly slave, while absorbing the political and social fallout from having one. When a slave is like this, it begs the question of why are you playing a slave, if you aren't willing to RP one?
A little rebellion is fine, but there comes a point where there is no other recourse but to kill said slave, often repeatedly, because it makes no sense to just shrug and free it. That would be rewarding bad behavior.
