I also disagree we have the same goal.
You have other goals than HTC.I do not belive your goal is to make AH the MOST fun for the MOST people. I belive your goal is to make it the most fun for you. While you might belive your goal is the same as mine, they realy are different.
I'm not sure how you can read what myself and the poster I quoted above and come up with that erroneous conclusion. Adding strategic elements to the game that goes beyond its current scope to encompass elements that would have a direct and postitive impact on gameplay balance and more diverse and interesting ramifications on numerical disparities is ALL ABOUT MAKING AH MORE FUN FOR MORE PEOPLE.
How, curtailing options based solely on one, isolated set of raw data that to, put it very generously, has a very limited effect on numerical disparities and little if any positive effect on gameplay option serves to make AH fun for more people is beyond my understanding and that of a good portion of your paying customers.
What we are offering you is possibly tenable solutions to an impediment to our joint goal of 'democratizing' the fun-factor that do not necessarily entail gameplay restrictions, but rather uses gameplay enhancements both in terms of scope and breadth of design to achieve that very end in a way potentially much more amicable and interesting way to a much broader portion of your clientele, actual and potential.
I really have no 'personal' motive to forward any agenda or idea over another. I, personally, will have fun and be successfull regardless of whatever gameplay restrictions you arbitrarily impose. However, that is not true of the vast majority of your paying customers, they are paying a heavier price for your expedient, stop-gap measures, undoubtedly losing a good many of them as customers/revenue permanently.
