JHawkInc said:Nothing is explained. What's the problem? Why is it a problem? What direction should be taken to fix things? We don't even have enough of a prompt for the rest of us to discuss the issue (much less figure out what the issue is in the first place). We know it's related to the rewards structure, but that's it.Meanwhile, we have name calling in the title, claims that the game is being ruined, vague implications that they only care about revenue and that they're using nefarious methods to acquire it, capped off with an insult of their creativity.This is a thinly-veiled hate post that offers nothing of value.

Okay, sorry, I thought it was obvious. By the way “bean counters” is not name calling. At best if you want to be easily triggered it is vaguely debatable. I’m all for you having a different opinion, but there is no name calling in the OP. Whatever though, glad you love the way things have been progressing and are happy. However the flag button is not a “disagree” or “dislike” button. Perhaps folks could start paying mind to that.Edit: Let me be fair and address these allegations individually when I have more time. However, I’ve addressed those issues, as have others, many times.So, specifically to the bold portion of your post. Name calling? Sorry that’s too vague for such a common term, you will have to elaborate on that. My implications that all they care about is money aren’t the least bit vague. I’ve outright stated it both here and in the past. Nothing wrong with that, given that they are a business. You think they care about you?Which methods of revenue driven tactics do you argue aren’t “nefarious” there are studies, published papers, etc...all outlining the toxicity of such methods.Now it is an insult to even imply that there may be someone more creative for the job? I call that constructive criticism. We deal with it in the real world all the time. Hurt feelings over it just get in the way of progress.My post is not “thinly veiled hate” it is a statement of dissatisfaction with the status quo as of late. Again, super glad you love it, congratulations on that, but that doesn’t mean that someone who disagrees with you offers nothing of value. Those points just don’t happen to jump out for you because you are looking at things through a different lens, your snap judgments about my intentions (which is quite presumptuous by the way) are completely lacking merit from my perspective. Now who is right? I imagine that depends on who you ask. Either way, there is certainly a discussion to be had about the way the game has developed and the way the resources have changed.

Spudgutter said: You can be right and wrong at the same time. Bean counters is innocuous, sure, but you definitely weren't intending it as a term of endearment. Probably would have gotten more traction if you had spent the time and energy from defending the post into the initial post, but that's just my 2 pennies.All in all, a low effort post you usually see from someone who just joined the forum, but not really flag worthy, in my opinion.
JHawkInc said: He's also not using it as an insult. Context matters.And then there's the bit where we still don't know what the complaint is even about. Where's the price gouging? What rewards need to be changed, and how, to make this less of a problem?We can't even engage the topic in a constructive manner, because nothing of substance exists with which to engage. It's just a mean-spirited rant. That's the only context we have here.
