I'm also not so sure that many gamers even know what the word immersion actually means to begin with when they argue for something increasing or reducing immersion. In any event, different strokes, or so the saying goes.
    I guess so. Maybe 'immersion' to them is not being drawn into the tasks of the game? But rather immersed in not paying attention to the intricacy and story of what the game and tasks offer? Maybe I'm just more observant and willing to place what some consider 'tedious' into a story, which it technically is, of the character and their tasks. I guess if I didn't think of things in this manner I could become annoyed with it too, but it seems self-defeating to view the game in this in a way that makes you not appreciate what you're doing. =(

    I agree with you. I happen to like the wards. That's just my own personal opinion. I'd like them even more if they could fix the issues with them so that they could begin to expand upon the functionality of what the wards can do.

    But I think the reality is that for the majority of people who don't like the wards, it wouldn't matter if the wards didn't have the current issues they have. The wards could work 100% exactly the way SE intends them to work and people would still post about getting rid of them. They just simply don't like the wards. They want that one stop interface. Which isn't wrong, per se. It is their opinion, their like, and they are entitled to it. Just like we are entitled to ours.
