No, I'm not willing to retract or apologize for the prerogative statement. I can understand your reasoning while also disagreeing with it. As I said, we're going to be addressing it.

As I said before, I don't want to engage in a debate about it, so I'm not going to.

Not once have I dictated your feelings about this nor dismissed your feelings as irrelevant.

I don't know why this prerogative comment got you in such a fit, it's me saying they are entitled to do what they want with their commodities despite my feelings on the subject. If they don't feel like they have a choice, then that's their right to do so and it's not my place to tell them they're wrong for doing so, even if I disagree with the reasoning.

I have said numerous times that I understand the reasoning, agreed that we need to work on improving commodity input, and are working towards fixing it. 

I didn't go out of my way to do anything, You have twisted an answer I gave to point out that scarcity wasn't a simple concept of numbers into something else entirely.

I don't know how you can honestly sit here and accuse me of 'dictating your feelings' when you straight up asked me to apologize for/retract my own opinion on current matters, an opinion that I've shared numerous times. 

You are right, I went out of my way to ensure that my opinion and feelings on the matter were based on the same information the players have. I wanted to ensure that there wasn't a disconnect or different information being displayed between us and that I wasn't seeing something the players were not seeing. I questioned my opinion on the matter so I wanted to verify and validate it again, which I did. I don't think this is a bad thing.

It reads to me that you want me to apologize for having a different opinion (which should be pretty clear at this point). I do think that's unreasonable and that's why I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to apologize because I disagree with you. Disagreeing shouldn't be something I have to apologize for, especially because I've been very clear in that I understand why players are doing what they're doing and that it is a problem we need to address (I've always agreed with needing to address it, I just disagreed that it was an immediate problem that needed to be addressed right then and there) and that we are addressing it. I haven't invalidated, said players were wrong or told them how they should think. I've only stated what -I- think and it happens to be different than what -you- think.

I don't have time to keep responding to you being upset that I have a different opinion here. Once again, I've acknowledged and understand the reasoning for how things are being handled currently.  I haven't said they were wrong and I have not invalidated them. We will be addressing that issue and are working on it. 

I'm not going to respond again, I just simply can't keep spending my time repeating the same information over and over because you want to condemn me for having a different opinion than you. This isn't shutting down the conversation, this is me just saying that I don't have time to continue to this same line of conversation that does not seem like it will resolve. We disagree on one aspect and agree on another. Let us focus on what we agree on because once we address that, the issues will ideally be fixed and this will just be something in the past.

 

@Maylea did *such* a wonderful job with the wedding, it was a lot of fun! Also give thanks to @Pysynne, and everyone who attended!
 

Honestly introducing more lessons overall into the game wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Overflow lessons for oldbies would become curious, which would invigorate that market/subsystem. People would be able to skillflex more, there'd be more credits free for artifacts... Etc. It's not a profit making decision but it is a player friendly decision and more importantly to the discussion, a newbie friendly decision.

I cannot fathom what things were like before daily credits. If you ever quit a class you'd go bankrupt, IRL too.
