No kidding, the only time people come out to pvp is when there is an Event and they dont have to 'use/lose supplies' the shit is lame.

The discussion on why something should remain should be focused on that subject.
This thread will turn into a 'if you do this than you have to do this' thread which wont end up being productive.

'Because I dont feel this is accurate than it is ok for this to be inaccurate' etc and we go all the way down the line until we have a custom built sphere shard

an example is 'because we cant remove barrels using pitchers of water, we should be able to have new crafting menus'

in an exaggerated form its clear to see why these types of arguments don't hold water.

all he ended up saying was that it depended on the user and now it will be slightly more inconvenient to communicate with your guild in game... screenshots of people talking using guildc hat hardly prove it is a necessity

The risk of players using programs now allowed always exists, I don't think it is a necessary factor in this decision. Removing party and guild chat will do much more good than bad.

There is seriously like 4 people who use bots, and they're either static archer bots or gate/ban bots. Exactly how does limiting a few people from botting do much more 'good' than inconveniencing the entire shard?

You can still send chat commands via UOAutomap, are you going to petition we ban that too? I mean damn, bots are usually setup on a loop macro anyway, and a gate bot can be as simple as Alt-tabbing to a second client window, pressing a razor hot key in a custom profile, and tabbing back in under a second.

I know its difficult for Canadians to think outside the box, but please do try a bit.
