Player controlled battles???

Well, I stand corrected for the second time. I was thinking the "autoresolve" to stay just as it is now, what you have described in a greater detail.

Oh I see...so you are proposing to keep the current system + adding an even fuller control one...I still have doubts about the feasability of this, but at least it wouldn't worsen the game as a pure autoresolve would.

First of all, you haven't actually discussed those things with the said newcomers. Fresh minds and perspective, when compared to jaded seen-it-all-and-gotten-used-to-it ones, can do wonders sometimes.

Definitely, but unless the newcomer adds a new spin to the debate in his initial post he is going to be handed to the inquisition.

And second, I wasn't complaining about the tone (although both sides sometimes leave much to be desired). It's the atmosphere that I sometimes find preposterous. If you don't have anything to add to the suggestion, why bother posting just to say "no"?

I would say that the tone builds the atmosphere, but in regards to your 2nd question, IMO those that say 'no' often _do_ care & do not want to see changed something that works as it is, and besides: in a sense every new idea is competing with the others for the devs time, so players will rather have the devs invest their limitted time in the areas of the game the like the most (or find lacking the most) instead of others they are neutral about
