DSM and I have at times traded barbs but I appreciate the efforts to actually gather data.

That’s just my opinion of course.
I fully acknowledge sometimes the academics is the quest itself. Like a prototype it isn’t intended to be the end-product. Or even, it might be research in efforts to verify a glitch that should be submitted for review. Assuming the goal is to make this sim accurate to vintage era EQ.
Of all the heady posts on game mechanics, the most annoying are the one liners from those don’t want to put on the work. This game is mostly constructed of anecdotes, dogma and popsicle sticks so to repeating canned sayings may be cathartic and “cool” but it’s rarely helpful for those actually trying to figure this out. Throw another couple sentences and set context, or run your own damn numbers showing why you believe what you do.

Very well said! I do apologize for the barbs, I get frustrated at times. That isn't an excuse, so thank you for your patience!
