Certainly, I have always included in a reply or at the start of the topic terms such as proposal, idea or suggestion.
I have given praise where i felt it was worthy.
True that over the years my evaluation of cheating is leading to more assertive criticism.
Upon a version update, upon a new upgrade tier and each addition the FFXI team has ability to create processes that are counter-measures against cheating.
They can do so proactively and retroactively. It is the composition of design that determines whether it has effective or poor counter-measures built in.
The standard that needs to be applied is if lessons are learned. Are mistakes corrected? When a foundation is repeated, how does one expect to attain different results?
The veterans know the hazards that should be avoided. The veterans know when design has effective counter-measures at the design layer.
Truly the devs will make their own evaluations. A great extent of what they evaluate properly should be from recommendations submitted by veterans who condemn cheating.
