Its sort of like, 4 + 4 = 8. 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8 as well. Two big things, or eight little things, but overall they are equal. In the long run, its all stuff that needs to get addressed.
I actually agree that it should be a toggle.

My point wasn't that it didn't matter, my point was that given the game in its current state, I am amazed that people are focusing on microscopic things like this rather than fixing the massively flawed aspects of this game like, to name a few:

Lack of content, lack of factors to balance the economy, the fatigue system, the boring and repetitive battle system, etc

The people complaining for this kind of crap right now are the people who are going to complain when this kind of crap gets prioritized over the things I linked above and complaining that the game is not being worked on fast enough. The dev team is busy fixing, testing and examining all of this little crap and is being pulled away from the broader more sweeping changes that the game needs *right now*.

My point, in short, is that crap like this can wait. The fact that a thread about this is up to 10 pages, while threads about the economy or battle system are at two is quite silly. If the dev team sorts threads by number of responses to determine the value of examining a particular change, this is going to take the place of a more needed change in a patch. This is trivial B.S.
