While I do think you have some good points in here in regards to people needing to make a concerted effort to do more open things, I need to ask you to please watch how you're wording it. Your posts in this discussion are starting to have an edge of hostility. Putting words in the mouths of other players, i.e. "I want to make sure I always make AC without any particular effort?" is unnecessary for the discussion and you can make your points without doing it. That is not what people are saying here and they've even said so, and it's discouraging to anyone trying to put their opinion out there if they get this sort of response.

So while I encourage you to express your opinions on this (they're just as valid as the other opinions) please refrain from doing that in your wording, as it's somewhat assumptive. As far as I can see it, all people are arguing is that there be flexibility if they're the types to have multiple smaller threads, which it is possible to have in open posts to the satisfaction of both players, especially in the channel.
