Single post in Some changes as of August 1st

I'm up for a short while nursing a bit of pain in my leg (cramp is fun) so I figure I'll shoot some answers before heading back to sleep. Just gonna get these two since the questions follow on so well from one another o/ Yes, uniformity. We broke the uniformity with changing that one and really that's not been okay for some time. We didn't really know what to do. With us finding out that people were messaging the users who are no longer staff, we kinda decided we had to do something rather than mulling it over. They aren't really intended to be quick-links, honestly. That's what the bookmarks are for. To put it simply, we realized that we were inadvertently running afoul of our own rules regarding not having misleading names for links. The simplest solution was not to link the counters at all. Basically, the counters are counting something based on the site, say interaction points, or number of scours - things like that... But they have a name associated with them. That being the name, mostly, of a user. So we have, for instance, Uzumi - which is Scour missions - but it linked to Uzumi's page. That's misleading in two ways, potentially. - If it links to Uzumi's page, it's misleading because it's counting scours, so shouldn't it link to the relevant thing? That being the Scours page, of course. - If it links to the Scours page, well - the text associated with the link is "Uzumi". Uzumi isn't on the Scours page, so... That's misleading too. We'll figure this out, of course feedback on that is more than welcome and we appreciate the suggestions! <3 As for the ZC question, I'm a little unclear on what's meant through the wording there. So! To be upfront, I'll say what it is that I got from that and you can correct if I'm wrong! :) "If RMT is removed does that mean that users will not be able to trade ZC for real world currency with other players?" Yes, that would mean that, sadly. I'll be honest, I didn't need to include the information that there was consideration (initially) for completely disallowing RMT. But, personally, I want to be transparent. It was a consideration and it's a big one, at that, so I feel it's pertinent to say that it was a consideration even if we're not doing it. I feel the response to the issues we've been having was a little on the emotional side and it needed dialing back. It is frustrating and annoying to have to deal with these things (and being blamed when we can't fix certain things because they're entirely out of our control) so, I can definitely understand why there was the idea of sorta saying "Let's just not allow it, then", but... I don't feel like that's fair. I feel like it's better to have a more... Level-headed approach. I do understand why other games do have it so it's not allowed as well, but we're not them. And freedom of currency, so long as it's mandated properly and the users know where they stand, should be okay. It being disallowed is not the end goal and it will take it being an extreme, or a legal necessity (aka. having no choice in the matter), for me to genuinely get behind it.
