Loramin, calling someone ignorant isn't doing you any justice. You are making my point for me. I listed absolute unclassic things that are currently in game. You ADMIT to the changes, then go about stating "the reasons" why the changes were made. Bottom line: You confirmed what I have been saying all along.

You keep calling me ignorant, trying to invalidate my claims. Yet I can produce verifiable evidence and documentation on my claims.

I'm guessing we may be having a touch of the Dunning-Kruger effect happening here.

My only claim was that they already changed stuff from classic already. You claimed it's classic, but they changed ABC because of XYZ. But the core argument remains....

It's been changed from classic, for whatever reason.

"But they had to change stuff because they didn't have paid GMs!"....and that has what to do with anything? That just states the reason they CHANGED it to begin with, but in the end it was indeed changed.

(I cannot believe you ever played the original game if you never heard of, or encountered, the infamous Erudin's Crossing deck-shark....REALLY???)
Ok, first off let's be clear on the definition of an English word.

When I call someone "ignorant", that is not insulting them: I'm not calling them stupid, or a moron, or anything like that ... which is why I took pains to say that I was trying not to get mad. If I say someone is ignorant, I'm saying they lack knowledge, and you shouldn't get mad at someone just because they haven't learned something yet. You hadn't learned some important information about this project, so I shared it.

See now that was an insult (albeit a subtle and reasonably clever one).

As for the rest of your post ... can you basically admit that you're just mad the devs can't do the impossible?

Because your argument is "X isn't classic". But that's a stupid (not ignorant) thing to argue, if X is impossible to make classic in the first place.

It's not a wrong thing to argue (you are 100% correct that P99 has unclassic stuff) ... just stupid (because no one could possibly do anything about it: eg. no one can convince Daybreak to let us have paid GMs).
