So. My 10c says this is a Tencent-motivated policy update. Anyone else? :)

PS, I think it's cute how "politics" and "religion" are Capitalized.

Unrelated: I was recently booted from a guild I was invested in, in another game, over some “suffer not the witch to live” shit. Not the sort of hyperbolic joyrants as seen on here, pretty much only called somebody out for spreading a hoax.

Related: Fuck it.

I think it was just an attempt to make the forums less shitty. They're both extremely boring subjects, and somehow also get people pissed.

I don't wanna read about what president people think would be good at pretending to have a say in anything.

Agreed minus being boring. GGG has a weak hand in this age of manufactured outrage, so they’re going for the kindergarten treatment.

I wonder which fee fees will be bruised next, that the rest of the nice little boys and girls will have to give up something else for. I don’t hold it against them (GGG), [Removed by Support] disruptive to business; I am nonetheless disappointed.

I could've never put it any better, I wholeheartedly agree and fully support your way of thinking. At the same time I wonder what is there left for me to do? Accept... fate? But that is what most (if not all) religions advocate, accept fate, suffer it gladly n all that crap. Correct me if I'm wrong but there is a slight contradiction going on. On one hand you dismiss politics and religion as "boring subjects" (your exact words), on the other hand you follow the dogmatic doctrine to the letter. Or not?

I have no intention to put words in your mouth, just trying to understand. All one can do, after all is simply take a closer look at things, change perspective, maybe then one can look at things more clearly.

Anybody who has a clue about theology knows that "accepting things on fate" is a serious twisting of the interpretation of the scriptures.

In the old jewish testament "jahwe" clearly submits to the people when they unite to oppose him.

It's a childish notion to think of "fate" as dogmatic following without understanding or experience, not to disagree many sects or cults utilize that interpretation to further their goals.

It's like people using the concepts of heaven and hell for political gains instead of simply looking at subjective inner reality and understanding heaven and hell don't need to be invented at all or projected in a time beyond one owns life.

Inb4 lock btw.

Peace,
