And I certainly never said anything that could be construed as it being THE thing which is out of keeping with the rest of the game's aesthetic. There are plenty of things that fall into category, in my opinion; but I wanted to allude to the fact that my threshold for aesthetic deviation is quite low, and that is why I made mention of my often running around in artefact gear rather than more novel/unusual attire.

Your argument is, loosely speaking, sound, so I don't know why you feel the need to erect straw men like these in order to support it.
My apologies for misrepresenting what you said. I was going off day(s) old memory and quickly writing the post. It would have been prudent of me to go back and rereading your post before ranting as I did. That is basically what it boiled down to now that I look at it again, and I'm ashamed that I even wrote it as it is.

But it is the gist of my opinions on those subjects at the very least. A frustrating night at work colored my words and led me to hastily scrap together the post just to post it. Apologies for that as well.

I'll be more on top of getting information correct in the future before hitting post. I'm usually better about it.
