OT: Bug versus Feature

[geoschmo]

Jourin,

You can attempt to change the perception if you wish, but you did accuse MM of cheating you when you stated that you had paid for apple pie and received apples instead. How else could that possibly be taken? And most reasonable people would have taken that as an impolite remark. And it was the reason for your being warned, not because of your opinion about the facts of the discussion.

Your analogy of the house is flawed. SEIV gold is not unusable because drones can't "move to". You are simply wanting them to do something they were not intended to do. It really is as simple as that no matter how hard you try to change the terms of the debate.

This is not a result of poor coding. It was a concious and direct decision on the part of the programmer. Given enough input from the customers, MM may infact decide to modify drones to allow them to "move to". We will just have to wait and see.

Things such as the fighter stack bug, and the counter intel bug were bugs. They were a result of mistakes in coding, or the result of unintended consequences.

Drones only fit into that Category if one accepts your definition of the word "drone", which requires by nature that they be usable in those ways. That is circular logic. You cannot prove anything that way.
