Nice red herring. Removing an argument of its context in order to support yours is really poor comprehension skills.


We're talking behavior stereotypes, or tropes, not racial profiling. If someone follows a reasonable course of behavior that matches a well established precedent, then it is a safe assumption that the individual will continue to follow that precedent until they prove themselves otherwise.

It's as simple as pattern recognition. We hate to think of ourselves a predictable on the grand scale, but we as human beings ultimately are.

Sad, I had credited you as an individual that was capable of holding a civil conversation and presenting your points in a constructive manner, and now this. I hope such a course can continue rather than dive into personal attacks.

As far as the individual mechanics. There is a difference in presentation between how you are presenting your case and how countless others are presenting theirs. Your display is far better than that of uncountable number of others.

Many of the ideas you list are something I'd support, (Aside from AH system, I do not believe blind bidding is appropriate for this kind of economy.) And I would like to speak of them in more detail.

However some of these suggestions in my opinion deserve their own thread individually, while others (such as gambling tables) Could probably be done as part of a greater whole (such as a Minigame discussion.) I have confidence that if you segment these properly, they would make the ground for good conversation and refinement of ideas for the developers to consider.

And it would lead as a good example on how to get others to introduce topics and conversations rather than the buzzwords, hyperbole, and falling into common tropes we've been having in the forum for quite a while now.

In fact if you'd like to start a topic (I think a the KS/BC/ZNM discussion would be a good one to start.) I'd gladly join you over in it and talk over it more. However I'd like to keep things more or less on topic here.
