Are you trying to make people more upset Gandalf? Because that's what I got from this message. Seems to me that you're telling the new players that they are wrong about the VQ ("Even if that were true" = Not true), and that they had better quit their whining because it is pissing off the experienced players. Telling someone that they had "better back down" is how you start a fight, not end it. Nothing makes people complain more than being told they have nothing to complain about.

I think that all of the players, new or old, have a right to air their opinions. And this forum is the right place to do it. I do hope that people remain civil, since as you correctly point out, the devs will not pay much attention otherwise.

Actually it was in response to the previous post which started out "I cant believe the veterans are still trying to defend the VQ" which generated my response about new players loudly saying its broke. Seems like a balanced statement but pardon me, I have removed those Posts.

And Im not saying people shouldnt have an opinion. If I didnt think the devs should look at this I wouldnt be trying to tone down the remarks to a level that the devs will be able to stand to read it without getting pissed.

Its not the discussion itself. Its the way its getting discussed. It is not productive toward getting the changes people seem to want.
