Ok. So you apparently don't know what the word "accrue" means. It means "Be received by someone in regular or increasing amounts over time." If leves don't accrue under the current system, you would get one set, and no new ones. That's obviously not what happens. They do accrue under the current system. What's changing is the rate at which they accrue, and whether you can keep them beyond the 36 hour period.
The new system is infinitely superior, in that you will be able to save leves up. Miss a few days? No problem for your char, when you do log back on, you will have as many leves available as you would have done during all those days! This is a feature, not a bug.
And that's why I'm in favor of the new ticketing system. I'm not arguing against it. I'm arguing against them reducing the rate at which leves accrue.
Not can't but don't, due to the wide variety of awesome activities in RL that I also participate in.
Interesting. I wonder who typed this:
But there are also days that I can't play at all, because of other things going on in my life.
Oh, wait. That's you.
Not can't but don't, due to the wide variety of awesome activities in RL that I also participate in. But now, I'll be on the same playing field as those of you who have none of those!
/sigh. Here's a little tip: Keep the personal insults to a minimum. You lose credibility when you make them, especially when they're this ridiculous. You have no idea how many "awesome" real life activities I'm involved in. And for the record, I'd put the awesomeness of my life up against yours any day of the week.
You're absolutely correct. 'Content' which expires on an arbitrary time limit is indeed useless. Content which persists, that I can do whenever I want - that's useful.
That's not what I said, nor is it what I implied. Again, please don't misrepresent what I said.
No, I disagree with things you say because they are factually wrong, and I don't like that.
So far in this post, you've misrepresented what's involved in the current system, misrepresented what I'm arguing, and misrepresented what you said previously. If you disdain factual inaccuracies, then your self-loathing must be reaching volcanic proportions.

You still haven't given any reason why everyone else should be limited to your playing time. I'm honestly wondering what your answer is. It doesn't make any sense to me. How are you hurt by the fact that some people can play more than you?
