[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6269065, member: 177"] Saying it once, maybe twice, no, that's not too strict. Noting it and moving on, sure, that's fine. But 800 posts later? My opinion changes. The "always and without exception" is not intended as snarky. Perhaps I was mistaken. You mean folks *don't* want it to be entirely consistent? You mean it'll be allowed to slide elsewhere? Interesting. Why, then, all the verbiage for this one single mechanic, when really, it isn't that big a deal when similar inconsistency appears elsewhere? As for "huge stink and fuss", I claim that as an accurate description. There's over 800 posts in this sub-forum, representing hundreds of person-hours of writing - relative to other topics under discussion on the forums, this one is, in fact, really big. There have been more reports of rudeness, warnings given, bans and temp-bans handed out related to this topic than others in recent months, to the point where complaints had us shift it into it's own little sub-space. And that is only on EN World. Reportedly it is worse elsewhere. Thus "stink and fuss" also seems accurate. I cannot help it if collective dogged determination on a topic has led to unattractive results. [/QUOTE]
