Treading Dangerous Ground

[Biggs]

I was under the impression that they were considering doing a mix of both 2 and 4 after seeing all of the forum activity over the merge.

Maybe I read wrong or something....

I am not so much concerned with what happens with the merger as I am with the way in which they decide to do it. I was actually fairly shocked they never took a poll to determine how the entire community would like to move forward with such a large scale, and far reaching change to the game. I actually could care less what they decide to do on this particular issue, rather, frightened by the manner in which they chose to decide how to do it. I have stated many times that it is their game, and they are free to do with it what they will. But to come out and say that they want feedback, and that said feedback will effect their process, then only using such a small and limited portion of the player base to gather such feedback sets a scary precedent. I just don't ever want a smal portion of the community making decisions that will effect a larger portion of the community.
