Would it be possible for those strongly advocating against this to stop spreading misinformation about what happened in yesteryear and putting newer players off the endgame. From the few conversations I've had about this, a lot of these people don't even have a nuanced view of the situation and are just disheartened and think the game is going to be made harder for them.
Egs: Some people don't even know that Dynamis is a 24hr lockout, so you can go daily to farm currencies (which some people do) to speed up a relic building compared to "back in the day". But of course this is left of the rant they receive. With regards to TH, all they hear is it was OP and it benefited the "lol look who got duped relics" target group of the day, again, not being told that it affected all drops. I should know, my farming expeditions take a long longer than they did previously to fill up inventories, a lot longer. AV from my understanding, the mob itself wasn't bugged, but the job abilities that were used in killing it. This wasn't even known until the mob was killed (I think 4 times), and the the bugs were found out, reported and changed. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this part. If what I understand is true, comparing to an instantly re-popping mob, that can be lowman'd and doesn't require any farming except to pop is a little bit narrow minded.
The thing that bothers me about this most, is that those who object to the proposed action are advocating the creation of a protected class of players. Not only are they advocating for a protected class, they are using their perception of another protected class of players (Which doesn't really exist if one can step outside the argument and examine some context) as the reason they also shouldn't have action taken against them. It all smacks of playground sillyness, if I'm going to picked on those other people have to get picked on too. As if one group suffering isn't enough, it's a pretty poor human being that goes out of their way to try and have someone else punished to make you feel better.
I don't have a relic or PW items that I'm aware of. I do have 2 Turbans, a Cerb Mantle, Fowling earring and maybe a beak necklace and I wouldn't mind if they were removed under the realm of fairness, I'd just buy them again when they are available.
Also, I know this magical number of 308 (?) H bodies has been flying around and used as a statistic to say it's not an insignificant amount of the community agrees with this, completely ignores the number of players who own these items who have spoken in agreement with this. So many times in Naschat yesterday it was, "I speak for the community" or "The community has spoken", to which my reply is you don't speak for the whole community. Which brings me onto the poll, it maybe in some statistical science wikithingymabob somewhere that is a relevant sample size, but it doesn't really represent most of the people who don't give shit and were busy enjoy ToAU missions and new areas ignoring for the most part forum drama.
