I'm used to being ignored, but... I quote myself and add: VERY much ado about nothing.
I agree, all of this really can be handled via mods. I mean seriously, the game is already out, it is a feature that is already set and has been around with these games since the company began. People have voiced their opinion, the issue is done. Anyone wanting change can put their money where their mouth is and mod it, otherwise all they are doing here is trying to create drama.
Actually, there's nothing particularly unhealthy about arguing after a release about what you like and what you don't about a game. That, at least, generally speaking. Until you have someone like Erra charging like a raging bull and throwing at you not-so-subtle insults and patronizing remarks just to stress that he really, really doesn't like to hear about your opinion.
Some have issues, yes. Your opinion isn't the problem. In fact, I don't even think you discussing it is a problem. I don't have a problem with your discussion. In the end, this issue is more of one that needs to be solved through mods. So discussion is good, as long as it stays logical and honest. Not all of these do.
