Yes, and back then the direction of the company was different. Things change, Mark's still the CEO but the people above him making the big decisions have decided to move to micro-transactions. Things said in the past no longer apply. The past being what happened...well, how long ago was the release of the Ornate Katana redeemable? The point he's trying to make is that they were holding this policy fast until this happened like a sock-in-the-face, with no preamble or even an attempt to slowly introduce it. And while they've shed the first part of the "we're never doing microtransactions or allowing you to buy an advantage", they're still holding onto the last part of that when it's clearly not true. Can that be easily fixed? Yeah. But for PR and company policy to get on the same page, while doing bunny-hops over the gaping potholes of the other existing issues within the company, it will take months if we're lucky - or we'll get no clarification and just hamfisted transitions as we've already tasted today. I understand his point, but it's pretty irrelevant at this time. If policy was to be changed here by the Admins, regarding botting and it was no longer considered to be against the rules, just here (Not the best argument, but I'll continue), then any statements you made in the past on the subject no longer apply... Regardless of how anti-bots you may have been. I don't know if you get what I'm talking about, but yeah. I'm not backing up what they've done, or trying to protect them, but bringing something from the past to this discussion is pointless.
