Ffft. It's absolutely helpful. You're giving me, at the very least, a lot to think about in terms of ways we could move the game forward if that's what we choose to do. The whole point of this is trying to know what our players are thinking and to have a discussion so we can try to make the best choice to benefit the most people. (Not to mention the heaps of players we have will, as a collective, think of new ideas that we, as only 4 mods, cannot.)

I think investment is one of the most important parts of a game. If a characters isn't invested, then the player isn't, and then it's less likely to be fun and for players to be involved. It's an important thing to be aware of and to take into consideration, especially as we potentially make changes to the game.

Thanks again for taking the time to elaborate and to speak up in the first place. I may come back to this with new thoughts, but for now I'm inspired to mull things over.
