Will non-classic "Item Linking" in East Commonlands EVER be removed?

How about we focus on any of the millions of nonclassic things that actually effect gameplay? Like not being able to get weapons you give to a pet back, or all the nonclassically charm/mez-immune mobs in Sky, or the shaman aoe poison buff stacking with the single target one.

Or the big one. The V-Word that, once invoked, nearly always causes massive defensiveness in the developer community here.

Of course the acid test should be: DOES IT AFFECT COMBAT? The compass could easily be used in the middle of a battle to find the safest vector out. It unquestionably made escapes and maneuver in combat easier. So it fails the test. The same that target rings did. The same that pet control windows would if they could execute the changes safely.

Obviously item linking has nothing to do with combat and is a tremendous improvement in the evolution of gaming UI. Good topic, but a silly troll since these truths are very self-evident and only someone lying to themselves could see it otherwise.

Is this person serious?

pretty sure that staff cant remove the linking for the same reason that staff cant force you to use classic UI or med into your spell books.

It wouldn't be able to stop you from creating links, but they should be able to stop the propagation of those links via chat. Don't certain channels already forbid linking, like shout?

Responses like this worry me because it seems to imply that if they could remove item linking some how down the road they would, which would to the majority of players it seems, be a bad decision.

But mention Variance and they start breaking their own legs trying to backpedal.
