Thank you, Arcueid,
thats exactly what I told someone per PM yesterday.
I generally think spoilers that offer too much information too easy for too many people will do harm to the game.
This also applys to spot maps like the ones you find at BM's site. If this was intended by the game creators, there would be an ingame spot map with detailed information.
It's not about *if* someone has maps or a craft-sim, it's about who has access to it. I don't mind if someone who is able to write a sim by only using his experience, writes one for his personal usage.
I also don't mind if someone makes a personal spot map by sweeping through the country.
Everyone tends to try to establish an advantage over the others - thats natural and okay, as long as he really *works* and spends time on it and doesn't use illegal methods ..
As long as only a minority has "earned" their advantage, there is enough motivation for a player to try to archieve a similar goal. But as soon as someone goes to public with his "secrets", he renders the other players earnings futile and cuts away an essential part of the often-mentioned "end-content" of this game. ..which sadly is kinda "sparse" anyways.
Tried to keep it as short as possible :) ..
Best regards
Talya
