I guess use whatever works for you but I have used that method for 8 years before merge w/o fail....find what I need most of the time by 60m....95% of the time before running outta distance and 100% of the time using the circle thing. I fail to understand your quote above, when ya stand at the packer and cast, you cover half the range out from it .... when ya do the circle you overlap what ya just did.

well... now you do what 42% want. just great.

never change anything. it's discomfort to have things change.

Please include Nexus! There is really no reason to go there anymore except an occasional lower named creature

Not quite. First, they did what 61.33% (42.36% + 18.97%) wanted, namely arranging the nodes grouped by material. Then they did what 69% out of these two groups wanted.

What would have been the alternative? Misrespecting the 61.33% in favor of the 38.67%, or rather misrespect the 81.03%, and do what the 18.97% wanted? It was a bold and unusual decision of the Devs and CSR to leave the decision what to do to a ballot. That way they showed their respect for the community. Misrespecting the vote would have destroyed that.
Well there was a change, though a change back. I would have preferred solution 2, which would indeed have been a major change. But I recognize that this solution has not been appreciated by the majority, and I have no problem to respect that.
