    Removal implies totality. Go ask a surgeon sometime - if they tell a patient they're going to remove a growth, is the intent to leave any of it behind? If a surgeon used the word 'removed' and intentionally left some of that growth behind, whether benign or malignant, they would immediately find themselves in court, and language would be the reason why.

    So every time a dentist removes teeth he removes them all then right? icon_rolleyes.gif

    First of all, in the context of "language matters," it behooves me to point out that dentists will generally refer to such activities as an extraction; further, the procedure typically follows an examination wherein the dentist and the patient confer about the status of the patient's mouth and the necessary remedies.

    You don't show up, sit in the chair, and have the dentist say "k imma remove your teeth hold still" and have you wait to find out what the new arrangement of your mouth is. You know going in what's going to happen, and when it's complete, you know exactly what has happened.

    There is a reason medical professionals use precision in their communications. Ambiguity can get them in hot water.

    And, to repeat, "Standard tokens will be removed and replaced with Elite tokens" is not ambiguous.

    Language matters.
    Medical professionals tend to use their own terms that laymen don't understand. Even Medical professionals from different specialities frequently have difficulty understanding each others' terms.
    But you are right, it is rarely ambiguous. Chances are you won't understand much of it, but it's perfectly clear once you know all the right fancy words.
    (If it is not obvious I am employed in the health care sector and frequently have to deal with poor wordings...)

    If they never intended to replace Standard tokens with Elite for higher, they really prbably should.

    It's a great idea to boost players who have completely outgrown 1* characters.
