I'm with Revan. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the way it ended up working out was godawful. Dev team is actively working on fixing it, though, and the new estate system combined with open offers (so that lords and Dukes who need knights put out offers that people can see when starting a new character or emigrating or joining a new realm) should fix a lot, and bring in some nice new options (have your estate support your religion, for instance
).
