Anna's right. I think everyone here is looking at AC differently - and we do all have different concerns. I'm focusing on comments, since I saw a potential issue with the way it was set up. She is focusing on AC as it's being proposed for multiple characters, which isn't something I'm as worried about - and, for the record, I think her proposal there is a viable one.

We're all expressing our thoughts in regards to this while we have the chance to, and if the proposal as it stands doesn't go through it'll get revised and put up again. If it does go through as it is then that's what the game wants, and then it's up to the players how they want to proceed with it.

I honestly do not see where you're seeing that there's this undercurrent of fear in this discussion, however. There's concern, certainly, but again, I really don't think anyone's going to be freaking out over making AC - or putting up a lot of closed posts to make the thread count. If that does happen, then I'm sure the mods can adjust what needs to be adjusted.

I do think you have some good points about people making more of an effort to do open things, but I don't necessarily agree with you on the methods of achieving it. Which I think is fine. We're approaching this from two different points of view, so we're not going to agree on everything.

As I said before, I'm definitely willing to see how it goes. And I'm certainly not worried about making AC at this point in time, even if the proposal stands as is. All I'm doing is pointing out what I see as a potential issue and expressing a wish for more flexibility, which I think is reasonable.
