...and yet the most vote-efficient map so far in this event is one easy enough for nearly anyone to autorun. If you can't survive that one without solar blast, you really don't have have enough stamina to burn to need to use autorun.

The amount of stamina that someone has and the level of their units are not directly related, so saying that not having a strong team means you don't have enough stamina to burn may not be true.

Your amount of say is, as I said earlier, entirely under your control.

Yes, that is true, the player puts in the effort they want. But I don't believe having different amounts of say like this makes it a "popularity" contest, as those work differently.

But we are different than you are. My gameplay method was labeled 'nolife' because I place a higher priority on this game than your co-complainer is willing to place on it. Your importance to the game is in direct proportion to the effort you put into it.

I do see your point there. Your saying that the difference is in contribution to the game. I admit, that is a difference and I misunderstood that. However, This part of importance is more of a difference in ideals and beliefs, but I understand what you mean.

It is not I who decided who is worthy to hold a larger saying...I am merely telling you how it is. It is the game itself which rewards long-term and active players. This is nothing remotely new in gaming.

Point taken. You were indeed stating a fact. It doesn't change my opinion that that feels a bit wrong. If I'm understanding you, then, you feel that that is the right way to do things. My point stands that you are entitled to your opinion.

Your forum registrations on a non-Nutaku site certainly make you entitled to more privileges than I am...on this non-Nutaku site. These include name recognition (not important to me) and the ability to edit posts (not normally something I need to do). Congrats on those, I guess. I'll stick with playing the game.

That doesn't exactly mute my point. You feel those things are unimportant. You comment and contribute to the discussion, but you don't commit totally to the forum. A parallel would be someone who joins FKG, plays daily, but won't fully commit to grinding one area for more voting tickets. Now the thought that because I don't entirely dispose of your opinion means that a whole company should do the same for a playerbase is a silly ideal, so I understand if you dismiss this.

Well then, I suppose nobody can ever use the word entitlement, because bringing up the word itself is hypocrisy. You seem to use it a lot, though

You seem to have misunderstood what I meant in that statement. I said that using the word, entitlement, as an insult to people who are expressing their honest opinion is hypocritical, because you would have to feel entitled to the opinion that my opinion didn't count. The word itself is fine, it's the way you used it that was hypocritical.
