Why would I assume you are talking about me specifically? I think you are trying to get under the skin of all immortals, not just me. Asking the immortal staff to respond to every little bitch, moan, whine, etc on this forum is assanine and a colossule waste of time that could be put to better use elsewhere. I think you don't have a ####ing clue what it takes to run this game, and continue to expect more and more.

As for "the amount of scrutiny it deserves"...In case you hadn't noticed, there are enough posts that are hardly constructive or just plain assanine, or don't really strike anyone on the staff as something they wish to champion and push for...and they get the amount of scrutiny they deserve. No matter what you hope for, we are not going to respond to every single little thing.

Just a response to your questions.

And we reserve the right not to waste our time.

And silence can be one half of a conversation.

And what does silence mean?

And you again demand a response to every single question. I'm surprised you haven't mailed the immortal staff every day asking why this hasn't been responded to yet (or have you been mailing only Pico and not the rest of the staff?)

You should learn that you aren't going to get a response to everything...live with it.

Or...I could not post becuase I don't think it's a good idea or a bad idea. It is an idea I'm not going to stand behind and try and get put in the game, but that isn't stopping anyone else from trying to do as much.

Posting = being heard. We are not going to sit down and write a dissertation as to why every post here is not going to get implemented, or why it's a bad idea, or that we just don't give a #### if it ever gets implemented. Like this post is turning out to be...it's a waste of time.

And yet...it would give you what you want...a response. Learn to read sarcasm.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
