Personally, I don't think anyone is saying 'I hate AC, I don't want to do it'. We're trying to come up with a reasonable compromise so we can have activity and still appeal to the people who are not fast taggers or have RL happen and still want to be able to participate in a game.
I also don't necessarily agree that upping the spread becomes a de facto 'link us to any two threads you did this AC period', because threads aren't the only options for making AC. It's only one of them, and if it's one that doesn't work it can be changed. You could just as easily make two open posts. And there's potential issues with that, too, but nothing's going to be perfect.
Unless I'm seriously misreading here, though, I don't see where anyone is arguing that the number of comments themselves are a problem - just that trying to fit them into one thread could be an issue.
Because as it stands up above, at least from what I got out of it when I read it, it's not twenty comments overall per two month period. It's two individual threads where the player has to make sure they comment at least ten times in that thread for the thread to even count. And that's trickier, imo, if you're not an uber-fast tagger, or if a lot of threads wind up getting dropped for whatever reason. Not necessarily something that's not doable, especially if you take channel posts into account, but trickier.
I would love it if all threads went long enough that I didn't think it would be an issue, but not all of them do. If there was something offered where you simply needed to meet the criteria of 'You must have 'x' number of comments' overall, that's a much different story. That said, I hadn't been aware it was going to include channel posts when I put up my argument originally, so it might be more workable than I had originally thought. We'll have to see.
