Do you think that I believe otherwise? I can only agree fully. I would, indeed, much rather have spent my Saturday doing something constructive.

I'm genuinely not trying to be a prick about it Bjorn, but given that we had four worlds of nightmare level botting and alt accounts, I just don't know. When I started the only alt account you would have was for mining or farming, depending on what you did on your main, and that would only be for the resource collection part of gameplay. Then botting came along, which changed that paradigm, but every change to the game mechanics you have made since then continues this fundamental trend away from the spirit of what Haven and Hearth was to begin with and the charm of permadeath. There hasn't been real permadeath for five years.
I think Boshaw could articulate this a lot better than I can, and you'd likely be more receptive to him, but he got so mad about how Hafen was more of the same departure that he won't even talk about HnH anymore.
It's just the adamant attitude that your changes, from curios to ingame intervention, will work when they are a square peg going into a round hole that makes me want to troll you sometimes, a lot of the time.
But really this is me being honest. I loved your game in W3, I would even pay for it. It's hard to tell what goes on in your head sometimes though, it often times seems like bizzaro land from an outside perspective.
This is not me lashing out because I am angry.
I suppose you deleting my entirely worksafe and not awful avatars and signatures is a better example of you lashing out because you are angry.
