Welp, I tried....Tried to present ways throughout these threads so some modding group, any group could take a leadership role....Yet none got it, right down to trying to give the modders a way to lay claim to their rights to do this...All refused, so ok, I agree..........Only 5% of all players are onliners.
That said, here is what your forcing of this point generates whether you realize it or not....
To change a system, you must be part of it. Most here as pro-modders claiming to be 100% offliners, most of the balance claiming only rarely to only in the past. Fair enough.
Point blank, anyone claiming to NOT be an onliner instantly whether they realize it or not just devalued their opinions as to the mods and how they affect the gaming community to nill/0/zip/nadda.........Most deffinately you may have an opinion. Sadly however it doesn't count. Anyone here with even a minimal intelligence realizing that you have put yourself into a position of nothing to lose, everything to gain, and feeling no responsibility to the online community as it does not affect you in any way shape or form. Many even clearly stating they point blank "Do NOT Care".
Once again, you may have an opinion, yet to the online community it doesn't count.
So that leaves a supposed 5% of all sales to count....Most here having clearly through numerous posts having stated over and over their on/off line affiliations so everyone else knowing who's opinion is of value in this discussion......As only, I say again, ONLY online players are affected, and therefor have a valid opinion as to modding and its affect upon the simulation online community. They are the only ones at risk here, they are the only ones that must endure any abuse caused by the mods, they are the only ones who in the end and as proven by the numerous pro-modding offliners are concerned for the integrity of the sim knowing the value of online play.
Do not try and now justify the validity of your statements if having claimed to be an offliner, as just as many did by modding in the first place, you have yourself, excluded yourself from having a valuable opinion risking your own play as to the affect of modding on online play.
Congratulations 95%, this is the harvest you have sown. I give in to your number and await the valid 5% to discuss the issue that affects them at hand.
