The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

A rose by any other name

I don't understand why so many people in this thread seem to lack empathy and common sense. It's such a small change to be somehow upset over.

Because sadly there are people who treat anything that doesn't effect them as "unneeded" or "unnecessary". These people are also the ones who are screaming the loudest about the change.

While I do not particularly care about filling the holes, i do mind about changing the orientation of the side noliths.
This changes my perception of the icon from being "serious" to a more "festival"
This looks like a confetti now

It does look like an orgy now, the perfect healer icon.

I'm critical of those who blame phobias for things. I'm not one for hand holding those with phobias, as I have suffered deeply from a life debilitating phobia (chrysophobia - I know, don't laugh) for years and got help for it. I hate it when people squeal when they see pictures of spiders because "my phobias". Phobias can be cured and people just don't want to make the effort to fix it. Perhaps that is a cold take, but it is how I feel.

That being said, I can't understand how people equate a simple, non-consequential change to the UI that probably took them 5 minutes to removing actual content like mobs and environmental pieces from the game.

It's like if there was a party and there just happened to be a tarantula in the center of the room. The tarantula doesn't need to be there, and it takes 2 seconds to remove it if someone didn't like it being there. It won't change the party in the slightest (unless it's a spider party). You don't have to mock people for it, or criticize the person who removed the spider. Or wonder if all parties from now on will be empty rooms because one spider was removed once and people will ask for everything to be removed, because that's a gigantic leap to make.

It was just a simple, nice gesture to something that was highly requested on the JP forums. Nothing more and nothing less.

And that explains why none of us saw it. Only the JP had an issue, lol.

And as someone who spent most of their school years as the focus of bullies in multiple states, I think I can say that no one in this thread is being bullied. That's laughable.

I would think someone who was bullied would know that everyone experiences bullying in different ways. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t see or feel it. There are people in this thread bashing on others for their opinions, saying they have no empathy, saying they’re rude and gross etc. To me, that *is* bullying.

Irregardless on topic of this, Again, like someone else pointed out. How strange it is that something that’s been in the game forever like the LTW icon people never had an issue with(despite it being much more triggering, even asked a friend who has it to weigh in), but somehow there’s a problem with the sage icon? It really is something.

It might be that people can easily tell the LTW icon is a hide, and nobody can tell what the Sage icon is because there is no real world counterpart like that (outside of maybe needles). Part of the phobia is fearing what could be lurking in the holes after all.

There, all nouliths are equal. None of this weird fascination with one noulith at the bottom with a hole haha.
