Don't worry Pat. Ran attacks me all the time for some reason, usually telling me how wrong I am on something about T1 play, and always writing much longer posts because I guess that makes him feel superior in some way. I stopped taking the bait for a while, but here we are yet again. I usually do try to keep it light though ;) I chalk him up to being one of those guys who thinks he can drive an auto cross because he read the car's owner's manual... He just always thinks he is right and aggressively refuses to see anyone else's point of view. And anytime you question his view he screams "SPREADSHEET!" and runs out. I don't think he's a bad guy, just an obstinate one. We've talked about this before. I do so love his condescension though.

Ok, Ran. You want real examples? Fine. What about the people banned for selling their accounts or seeking refunds from Google/Apple? Those have NOTHING to do with gameplay elements, and therefore cannot be coincidental or accidental, and it would be impossible for Mobage to learn of these instances without reading the forums they are posted in. Most of those are closed within 2 hours.

You know, you seem to be under the impression that everyone hates Mobage. That there's nothing but hate. If that were true, everybody would have been long gone by now. While I'm sure there's not much love either, there is an unhealthy antagonism on both sides. People love this property and want to see a better product. I don't mind if they cruise for ideas, i just wish they would take more of the good ones. Most of us, especially the current crop of T1 guys, have been here longer than you and remember when ideas flowed quite freely around here. There is a reason those doors are shut now, and it isn't anyone's delusions of persecution ;)
