Why should the old game be changed because a vocal number of people who cannot handle feeling left out because they didn’t get a buff that is not needed except for the wiener party happening in their head? If the buff was coded long ago to have this functionality let it remain.
Why punish those that are able to jump through all the hoops?
I think my point of view here is, would this really be punishing those who jump through those hoops?
In order to answer that we have to understand why they jump through those hoops to begin with… my understanding is that it’s to be the best. If that’s the case, removing WCB from the pool of buffs available to Alliance doesn’t change that. The best are still going to be the best, everybody will be on an even playing field and we can all carry on, business as usual.
Do you think there’s another reason to want WCB?
Do you think it was coded this way intentionally, or do you think this was a byproduct of game interactions that the developers didn’t really expect? Honest question here… and we can only speculate, of course. Unless the dev in charge of WCB weights in on this (which would be kind of interesting!!) then I don’t think we can know, but we can certainly think about it
This would be my guess.
But they had years to rub it out and chose not to do so. Gotta see that as they are okay with it.
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t hate raiders or parsers. But I do expect that they give others views and playstyles the same room and validity that they are provided.
Ahhh they did and they didn’t. I mean, sometimes stuff falls to the bottom of the priority list, sometimes they don’t think of it until later, and sometimes the timing just isn’t right once you realize. Heck, a lot of things aren’t a big deal until suddenly they are. I dunno what the actual reasons are here but I do think that once you’ve decided something is necessary, not having done it sooner shouldn’t really be a barrier.
Aaaaanyway, the whole point is, I don’t think Alliance getting WCB was ever really intended… it just was. I could be wrong, it just seems like that’s the more likely scenario. I still walk the line between support of #somechanges and #nochanges and I can see the argument from both sides, but if something is gonna make the game better and protect players from themselves, I can see my way to getting behind it. Or at least giving it some serious thought, you know?
I certainly don’t expect you to share that outlook just because I have it though.
The reply to that from the person that I was speaking to was respectful and appreciated.
Bad faith arguing, gaslighting and projection are pretty much univerally known as toxic arguing styles that I try not to engage in, but sure maybe I should have called out the behavior as toxic and not said that about the people. That was said after being annoyed about the comments to me so maybe a bit passive-aggressive.
