Regarding Adjustments to Exploratory Missions

[Alistaire]

All this is almost literally like jumping the shark then killing off the star of the show that jumped the shark in the next episode.

Someone else mentioned how irrelevant 210 gear will be after 3.2 so there was really no need for this drastic a measure.

And the thoughts from several about things being lost in translation is so true. The phrase about gatherers gathering more because of not needing lotting rights makes no sense at all; people are less mad at a gatherer that passes than one that still lots by a longshot. The idea of removing lotting rights if you haven't generated any actions is really the only way to go; I've even had times in alex normal in df where we realize a guy wasn't participating at all, only to have them lot stuff in the end, where this would have been useful. And there's no detriment against it; long as they can code it properly there's no downside to preventing people from lotting drops from fights they didn't participate in, in any content.

At least if there is a translation error we have to hope the JP players are as perplexed about this answer as we are, because the one thing we can be sure isn't a translation error is that nothing's being done about a valid issue.

Unfortunately it appears that the tranlatoin has no error...
