"a place", not "the only place". Again, since the IMMs ocasionally field questions here, I don't get the impression that we are their hated foes.
Ya see, the newbie channel has 2 drawbacks:
1) It's only open to level 10 and under. If I have a question, should I log on to CF, make a dummy character, use the newbie channel, then delete? Isn't this place asier?
2) No records. If I ask a question, it gets answered. Someone who logs on in ten minutes might ask the same question again. Doing the same thing on the Forum lets people figure things out without demanding the time of the IMM staff. I hear they're busy people.
Unless you can explain the above, get off your high horse and stop reading the Evil Forum. If you're going to bitch incessantly, have the courtesy to act according to your own principles. Otherwise, people might call you a hypocrite.
