Just for your information, if you ask me to shut up politely or not simply because you are "Fed up" with the topic, i swear i will emerge from your PC monitor and do a Ozzy Osbourne on your head.
This is a forum, we are in our right to express our opinion how we like it to, even if its on a annoying topic such as this. As long as it doesn't break any rules of the forum. As long as someone have something to say about the matter, they are in their right to do so.
And for the record i always consider that one should make a suggestion with the mindset of convincing solely the dev team that its something worth to do it. If other people follow then fine, if not then defend your suggestion with all that you have so it doesn't get stomped (Like i so much like to do :D). For a reason its a forum that people can discuss stuff in, it would make no sense to have a one side discussion otherwise...
Oh, and the part about not wanting someone to tell you how to play can be applied the other way too, the other side would like to play the game in a different way beyond some number tweaking only, and the only way to do so is by convincing the dev team to change the game or someone to make a addon or something for it. In the end, its just a matter of which side have the more support going for them, and right now the conservationist side is winning.
