Hey Lynx,
Oh no, I am not in any way agruing against the filter as in real life we had a bunch of players who were quick to abuse the fact that there was no filter. They made the filter necessary and I understand and support the decision to implement the filter.
I was speaking in the broader sense. There shouldn't have been a need for the filter in the first place. As Pyro pointed out, working on the filter took them away from other work. We basically screwed ourselves by forcing the filter.
That's all I was saying.
