Significant decrease in Materials from Gathering Favors - Patch 3.07

[Aeyis]

As much as you would like to claim that there is a precise meaning to the phrase, the reality is that it is used inconsistently.

The reality is that this only applies to those that don't understand English well enough. As Roth mentioned above and others have explained, English isnt as ambiguous in this case as people in this thread make it out to be.


It's simply some people arguing that their lack of English understanding means ''English is ambiguous''

''to'' and ''by'' mean different things. It is that simple. This is basic English. My earlier argument was not an insult as apparently it seems to be taken. This level of English is just that basic.


''you fill a glass to full''
''you fill a glass by filling it with water''
The different meaning of ''to'' and ''by'' can be infered by the different use of grammar in the two sentences.



''The yield of Favor items has been increased to 300% of the old value''
And everything after ''to 300%'' isn't even needed either.

I was referring to your demeaning comment. Those are quite unnecessary.

It wasnt a demeaning comment. Perhaps you felt that it was, but it truly is basic English.

It was about basic math because you claimed the math used to explain the English used was incorrect.
Again, I also dont need to use links to disapprove you are wrong, because the math also is very basic. Children are taught this level of math (the different between + and x) in their first year of math.

So having (presumably) adult people who regularly engage in forum discussions argue about this is baffling.

Again, perhaps I'm biased since I never had much issues learning English myself..so I tend to forget the difficulties in learning another language. So perhaps the English isn't as basic as I'm making it to be, but more intermediate.

Let's try to keep these forums a positive place, and if we are going to argue, let's argue about something important like who would win in a fight between Merlwyb and Raubahn?

This would be a more positive thread if you *blushed* and realized it's only a small thing to be wrong about. I'm surprised tho, I didnt consider you one to argue over something that cant be argued about.

Exactly...sitting here in shock about the fact this argument's even still going on.

I guess it shows people on these forums truly try to argue against everything.

Remember what it feels like to blush!
