End of Cottage Rule? Please?

The cottage rule is a neccesary part of the development process. As much as I like making suggestions that violate it, it is understandable and I have a great deal more confidence in the game because of it.

An example of what happens to games without said rule?

SWG, hooboy that one was a doozy

Cottage rule meh,

What we need is a tenth power in sets.

With the exception of devices there isn't a set that really needs a massive reworking, and even there an additional power choice would work wonders.

My personal favorite.

I pretty much said what I had to in my first post, the basic statement stands, "I just love it when someone cannot understand that disagreeing does not mean mis-understanding."

I find it hilarious when people who disagree resort to, "If you only understood, you would agree." It really is very funny to me and this particular example has given me and a couple co-workers a good laugh.

As for the requests of 'proof' of my opinion that there are powers that need to be removed/changed enough to break the cottage rule:

I simply don't agree with some things that others do.

I am quite sure that if I post examples of powers of which I have a low enough opinion that I think they should be removed, someone will post their opinion as to why they should not be.

Nothing will change; I see that as a waste of time.

My point was made in the first sentence of my original post; I simply happen, in this case, to take a stance that disagrees with the developers, something I seldom do. It is not something, IMO, worth even discussing, because there is no resolution to be had from such a discussion.

I am not going to post something so enlightened and insightful that a developer drops what they are doing and runs to get a hammer, nor is anyone going to post something that causes me to suddenly and profoundly change my mind about powers I have disliked for years.

Therefore, enjoy your life as you will and I'll do the same, g'day.

Dude. IF you want to get rid of the cottage rule, sell us on it. WHY????

(I know you're not the OP, but you've been more vocal here then them.)

So far you seem to be spending more time "Q.Q"ing about Memphis Bill's posts then creating or backing up an argument. That weakens your position.

Bring something to the table if that's what you want to see changed, because right now, you've got nothing.

Yep, that certainly resembles your posts. Glad you realize it as well. Now why don't you try to be better? Or are you going for a forum ignore record?

Because I see you doing nothing but trolling and arguing, versus someone who has been widely helpful on the boards, who has gone out of his way to explain his side of things and has a history of helping out and, yes, standing up - even to the devs - for things that actually need fixing, despite people like you trolling him (most recently in the incarnate graphics thread.)

What have you done lately to actually help your fellow players? Because if this thread is any indication, the answer is probably "Less than nothing."
