Eh, then you shoulda said it that way. An, not how you did.
Your message there seemed to say you were pissing on the whole idea of tips, and not that you thot there were better alternatives. The above post shoulda been there in place of (or in addition to ) the one you actually did. Far fewer people woulda been unhappy with you.
I agree, theguide should be read and reread, and often. I agree, the questions thread should be used.I disagree on the redundancy bit. Back ups are good: If you have one car, and it breaks down, you are screwed. If you have two cars, and one breaks down, you are still ok for a bit. I agree people should be encouraged to use the guide and the forum, but the tips thingy adds a back up.
It helps those too lazy, or too stupid, or too new to learn, it helps level the playing field.
Finally, I understand your disappointment at the tip thingy being the newest change. I understand you hoped for a bigger, or different change. So did I. No one to my knowledge asked for this change. BUT, it is a change. It shows things can chamge, and offers hope that other things may someday be changed.
I choose to see it as a good thing. I choose to watch it an enjoy it, an think of all the noobs who are learning from it, and becoming better, more interested players.
Eh, maybe I am just a damned crazed pollyanna, but I choose to see the good in things. I choose to accept things as they are, and hope for better. I fully expect the sun to come up tomorrow, with no proof whatsoever. I see the glass half fulll.
75% of all players in IC have hemorroids,
the other 25% are perfect assholes.
