Make toming safe after a prayer

READ!!!! It was never about you.

Yes? My reading is just fine, thank you, but even though you are complaining about the lost art of reading comprehension, you also might want to do some self-reflection in that regard as well. Anyway, let's go back to the roots of this sad affair and forget about the ensuing nastiness for a moment:

And while my personal experience is hardly empirical evidence, Woody is right in one regard, though: while we grind for the ever elusive legendary loot,  map changes and events can offset boredom to a certain degree. I just wish there would be more and new maps.

Unless you can demonstrate a link between map changes and overall population increases, this is just an isolated incident. You recently rejoined without any new maps being added.

So you want me to prove to you that map changes increase player population, no? And I want you to prove to me that they don't. But you can't, because as you correctly said:

as we can't get complete statistics without being developers aggregating data from server logs

So you use this:

[*]From the last 10 patches, there was no time that there were stat nor map changes alongside no changes to loot chance; so you can't attribute higher population to just stat or map changes
[*]People chose not to play when challenge took precedent over loot eligibility
[*]People do not "almost unanimously" want to return to having nothing

Or this post showing the cause of tripling the number of die rolls less than triples the chance of hitting the number you want on any of those die rolls unless the chance of a single die roll does not also increase.

as some kind of supposed proof, even though it is mostly personal observation and circumstantial evidence.

How about you just admit that what you wrote in this matter is what everybody else wrote: an opinion. Maybe informed, maybe uninformed, but an opinion nevertheless.

Having said that, I'll head to bed now. Should you choose to write a reply tonight, you will have to wait until tomorrow for an answer. Or, if you think like I do that our tit-for-that might be somewhat annoying for the rest of the readership, we can move this to PMs or chat. Your choice.

P.S.: Does this whole thing mean my chances to join Tricksters are now non-existent? Ah, just kidding.
