[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5226440, member: 177"] The surest way to get what you want is not go speak on message boards, but to [I]buy things[/I] that give you what you want. Vote with your wallet, and all that. Flapping your electronic gums will sit a distant second compared to the balance sheet. Being negative about someone else's play style is not a good way to convince people to cater to you. Being [I]against[/I] something is a good way to make yourself look bad, as you have to spend your time saying negative things - you generally end up looking like someone who got up on the wrong side of the bed, all grumpy. Who wants to deal with a customer who seems to be spending their time being down on everything? So, go ahead and support your own play style, but skip the part where you get annoyed at the other play styles, and feel you have to "challenge" them. Just do your own thing, like they are doing theirs. If there are enough folks like you, then someone will cater to you, because doing so will be good business. [/QUOTE]
