Actually, I hadn't been on the forums that much lately. Wrongway just really stood out to me as I went through the wishlist threads as someone who just had to have his say about each and every request, usually to mock or put down the poster, call the request stupid, or whatever. And right before I posted the OP, I saw a thread or two where Banshee was playing the exact same role, and just thought I'd point it out. I wasn't aware that HTC had appointed any other players "Guardians of HTC's Precious Time" and "Saviors of HTC from Stupid Ideas".
Again, provide quotes, links, etc. to show me playing this so called role.
Put me down for one of those too.
If someone wishes for something
you can already do in game by another means, I will point it out. It is even appreciated occasionally.
Never have I called any wish stupid nor have I belittled anyone who made a wish. It seems the largest bone of contention over when I point out some possible flaw in a wish is that I didn't merely agree out of rote with the poster and had the audacity to post why the wish may not work. Most of these are "it would be easier if..." wishes. You already have the ability do do something but don't want to make the effort to use the resources available to you. I would probably argue why auto-take off wouldn't be necessary if it wasn't already in game.
Actually, I rarely come out and oppose any one's wish. Maybe it's not going to work out the way I perceive the wisher thinks it will. I know I have -1'd a few times but for the most part, I'm just voicing a different opinion. It certainly isn't up to me anyhow. You're giving me way too much credit.
The larges issue, hoverer seems to be me asking for someone to "sell it" instead of posting "F2H Banshee --Link." My response to that is to, again, quote The Fugitive, who put it much more eloquently than I:
I would seem to me that you would try to impress as many people as you can with your idea.
First, if it is well thought out and well presented its has a much better chance of NOT being forgotten by HTC as soon as they click to the next page.
Second, if you stimulate the community with a well thought out idea it will create activity on the boards and bring it again into the notice of HTC, giving them more food for thought, such as "there seems to be a big interest in this, maybe we should look into it".
However, you can keep up with repeating the same old wishes. I'm sure that will generate a favorable response. I'm sure there is some magic number HTC has on a post-it note which reads "on wish list request #7,326 we add the B-29"
If the person making the wish isn't passionate about it, why should anyone else be?
