And the Democrats always claimed Social Security was in a seperate "untouchable" Trust Fund that would always be there. LOL It is called life. Get over it dude.

That could be said about a lot of things, like bandages being cut one at a time, horses fatiguing, katana speed change, changes to deadly poison, changes to cartography, changes to fishing, changes to swing-on-the-run, I could go on and on.

The point is: regardless of whether people 'agree' or 'disagree' with a change, whether they 'win' or 'lose' because of a change, if its towards era-accuracy we should all accept it for what it is and continue enjoying this server for accuracy and not convenience or favoritism.

well, if rumors from matrons thread are true and staff leaked information about a patch to some people in vent, then i think we should reconsider the favorism part.

also, i am not particulary for or against such a change, but i think things should be handled consistently. so if this is put into action, then imo other gf decisions should be reconsidered whenever possible... i mean really, gf stuff has to break, but gf lockdown on porches and gf glacial staff vendors are still cool?

Well, in all honesty. There has been a HUGE drop in GF glacial staffs wielding neon vendors since that changed. The important differentiation is that the vendors are subject to decay (as many have already done) and over time this problem will naturally work itself out. Non stealable, non breakable, completely wearable neon items however are not subject to this attrition.

You would think, but the sad fact is that the majority of these players hand over their accounts to their pals when they quit. Mirage once told me that he had access to 9 different accounts from old TW players that he was going to use to get holiday rewards and all that. You can clearly see the items falling from one player to the next, rather than decaying in a bankbox. This is especially problematic considering accounts are never deleted.

That is illegal and bannable. 3 accounts per is the limit.

Yes but it's their "friends" accounts... (or something), but that's another topic.

i dont like the idea. yes i have a pair of GF blessed sandals. but, we were told they were unbreakable, just like we were told our glacial staffs wouldnt be taken away. i think it would only be fair for staff to honor thier decision they made in the past. moving "towards" an era accurate shard was the goal from the beginning, grandfathering things has always been the t2a way. they axed the glacial staff abilities because it did in fact affect game play, thats not the case with this.
just my 2cents.

This is what i was trying to say in my post. Staff should honor their previous decisions.

In a sense they are.. since Derrick had said that things would eventually be breaking. He never said they would be grandfathered forever.
