I would like to state again that what I note is from my observations, based on specific reasons, for which I listed respectively. Even if my "guessed" facts may be no better than "no facts", I believe there is some logic in what I said. Thus I would rather we discuss in points and logic, instead of personal aggression. The first writing was excessively resembling an "official" tone. And it was a joke. It would have remained a joke had you not attempted to reply in a passive-aggressive tone, likely to prompt more passive-aggressive responses. Even if it was not a joke, the devs do not need people to defend them from "imposters" or "attackers". There are forum moderators for that. The devs can do what they want, when they are ready and when the feature is polished and well-thought out enough. Excessive argument here though, will not help with that, in any way. In fact, likely everything we have said and will ever say here, but amounts to a footnote in what the devs have already considered. I never had the illusion that what we are talking about is "significant", but I do try to engage with it "seriously".
I remember a very old thread (2015) wanting a "play dead" emote, and now we actually have one. But what that thread was not able to reach a conclusion of, was that in Japanese culture (or possibly a Eastern culture thing in general), "death" is not to be treated lightly. Such that even sleeping in a position as if you were dead, or in a position resembling the position one takes when placed in a coffin, is a big no-no. Thus, the in-game play dead animation is slightly, just ever slightly, differing from our actual death animations. And there is a bit of life to it yet. And it was better for that. And thank god the devs were able to put thought of that level into it, so we could have a polished and positive feature, if a feature at all.
So my point is, 'stacking' may come, just not in an unpolished, risk of net-negative way. And as you mentioned too, further "future-proofing" the future will require much contemplation as well. So, while the devs could just simply remove the stack limitation coding, they will not, and they "can not". "Officially" asking for a feature without consideration to the many aspects which must be designed for, considered for, and carefully thought out for, is perhaps in itself an "insult to the devs", ahem. So please, debate is fine. But do not argue. And please do not take this personally, it is but a comparison of telling me to read my own post for respect, to perhaps reading your own initial post as well. We all get excited with thoughts and passion for this game, and that is fine. You may also noticed that my initial post did not attack you in any way, it was but "condescending". If you took that as an insult I am sorry, and I can understand. And if you do not want me to post in this thread anymore that is fine too, as I said, all we say here is but a footnote in the grand scheme of things, and if this thread is no longer to my interest I will naturally stop posting in it as well.
