[QUOTE="Skyscraper, post: 6557150, member: 48518"] No offense taken, although yes I did (erroneously) conclude that you were adressing my - and other's - point of view on limiting player access to certain content. My sarcasm was meant to be somewhat humorous, to get my point through. I hope that I, in turn, did not offend.
