    Honestly, no idea. I'm kind of with Ty that they probably initially were designing SGE to be more like the PvP version but, late in development, decided not to for some reason and kind of scrambled for the nearest exit and made "a better SCH" kind of by accident more than by intent. It's just a hypothesis, but seems reasonable.

    What people seem to like about it is that it's smooth and not really clunky, which is the opposite of what most people who pine for SB healers want. In a way, or perhaps an ideal (*cough*4healers*cough*) world, they'd have made SGE and shfited SCH away from what it is back to what it was to appeal to both groups. Both those that like what SCH has become (SGE) and those why liked what it used to be (SCH). Of course, they didn't, so...who even knows. But the end result is that SGE seems to be broadly popular.

    Shocking, isn't it, that we aren't as shallow as you think?
    When I say people attack me, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

    I can only reply to what you posted - which was you mentioning the most liked posts based on number of likes - not what you may have done...but didn't say in your post. I can't reply to what you didn't say:

    ...

    Agreed, there are also positive ones , looking at them quickly I found three that totalled up to about 75.

    So a quick review would tell me that it's not so much a "so many people are happy" but that it's a mixed bag. Yes, some people do like Sage, and some really like Sage, but a significant amount, possibly a majority, have issues with Sage. It's not what they expected, they may like some aspects, however they want to changes.
    Note the parts I emphasized with underlines. You talk about counting the votes, and then "a quick review" and "looking at them quickly"; quick review/looking at them quickly doesn't mean "read all the replies in the thread".

    You can't fault me for having the wrong take on your post when your post itself presents things that way.

    So your natural assumption was that 'quick' necessitated incomplete or cursory review? I see, no it was quick as in "the actual time spent", but not incomplete. You can count upvotes based upon your rather dubious interpretation of how the feedback was on that thread, or you can tally up each post, however "the end result is that SGE seems to be broadly popular' is only partially telling the truth, it would be at least equally, if not more accurate, to say that many people are disappointed with multiple aspects of Sage.

    /sigh

    No. Just no.

    This reads like you made a statement, I correctly replied, then you wanted to take a dig at me, and I correctly pointed out you were incorrect to do so, and instead of backing down, you try to defend the incorrect dig.

    Say whatever you want, I'm not going to bother with that kind of stupidity.

    .

    To the point on the end:

    It would be more accurate to say "SGE is broadly popular (would rate above a 5.0 overall), but many people are disappointed with various aspects of SGE while many people are also very satisfied with various aspects of SGE." Your take is a "glass half empty" one.
