Thanks for the cavalry charge, Talon, but this is water under the bridge now, mate.

I think what Woodrow and many other players really object to is PM spamming in any circumstances. Even though I made full use of the PMs while they were available, my motive in posting here was not to preserve PM spamming. Considering the way I've played, however, I can well understand how people could jump to the conclusion that it was. Actions speak louder than words and all that... However, check my other posts on the subject and you'll see that I have always fully agreed with the notion that players should not be able to deploy PMs quite so readily.

As you know, Talon, I've had some outrageous killing sprees using PMs to make a house interior practically impregnable. I knew while I was doing it that even though it was a legitimate part of the game, those on the receiving end would be hating it. I very nearly agree with the notion that I was wrong to do it!

As Safe-Keeper so eloquently put it, PM spamming was dangerously close to the borders of Exploitistan, that murky area between simply playing the game well and exploiting the mechanics.

I'd like to thank everybody who had the fortitude and forbearance to put up with my PM spamming without instituting a kick vote against me! I mean it! Thank you.

Thankfully, 1.3 has put a stop to PM spamming, so end of story.

Mmm... vanilla!

I'm somewhat disappointed in the "nerfs" and unchanged bugs in the new version.
