[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9776827, member: 4348"] Was it though? According to whom? Who gave out that information? What is it's source? If I made an Apple Pie and said everyone loved it...that's what everyone said. Does that mean everyone loved it? On BA... There were some complaints about it...but they were minimized. They actually had to change the numbers a little bit...but if you look at what they did...they changed the appearance of the numbers slightly, but in reality...they didn't change a thing. And that's after admitting that there were some complaints with their universally loved BA during their original public playtest. They were not about to tear it to the ground and try something else, or give it a multi-pronged approach to try multiple options. That was never going to happen. When given the option, all they did was a small tweak that really didn't do much and call it good. And suddenly...that solved the problems? On tweaking information and the sources... They were trying to sell ocean front property in Iowa as well...I didn't buy it. They then told me that since I wasn't happy with that offer they were more than happy to change it up and sell me ocean front property in Hartwhistle UK for a pretty penny. They felt that was enough of a change that I should be happy with getting ocean front property there. PS Edit: In other words - TLDR - I don't know what the actual reactions originally were. They had a more solitary source. I suppose it depends on whether you trust marketing to tell you the truth...or that instead they will tell you what you want to hear in order to sell you something. BA may have been loved by a majority (though we know there were complaints enough to cause a tweak), but whether it was or wasn't isn't something that I've ever seen the information on. [/QUOTE]
