Fyrosfreddy - I did not mean to argue against what you said, merely express skepticism that your words would matter to those who refuse to change their thinking no matter how many facts or how much logic is used. To them, the Lore that was written 15 + years ago is inviolable and immutable....
It would appear that we are violently in agreement with each other in this respect.
If you are celebrating something start planning an event at your favorite restaurant and then as you make your invitation list, you realize that the people you wanna invite include
31 folks will eat anything
11 don't eat red meat but eat chicken
9 don't eat red / white meat
3 are vegan
4 have gluten allergies
2 have nut allergies
Do you stick with a restaurant you like best ? Or you pick a restaurant that can accommodate all the people who you want to be there.
If a bunch or Aqua-people and sea creatures were to appear ... is that a dead idea because it's not mentioned in the lore ? A few strokes of the pen (or strikes on a KB) could solve that in an hour.
So with Rangers being, by far, the fast growing faction ... if it's between keeping the lore and keeping the player base, the lore has go to evolve. And that goes both ways. If someone wants to be a ranger and wants to PvP, I am not a fan of restricting that option because of "lore". Guilds of course have a right to decide whether that is what they are going to be about, but game mechanics should not.
