The complaint is that perhaps some of the encounters should be tweaked in difficulty so that they consume fewer resources, so that fewer players feel like they need to do a long rest after every one.
If could have ben, yes ... but it was not.
Complaint was that game encourages players to use Long Rests instead of Short rests ...
No matter how hard would encounters be, Long Rest will allways be more effective, so the complaint would remain the same even if every single encounter in game would be resolved by single cantrip. O_o
Nothing about GM4Him's response could possibly be considered - by anyone who was posting in good faith - as a personal attack.
Thank you for your opinion ... nobody asked for. :-/
Now if you dont mind (and honestly, even if you do), i will be judge of when i feel attacked ... k?
And i will certainly appreciate if you will stick to your own business aswell.

I don't have time to respond to every thing you pick apart...
You can focus only on those that ends with questionmark.
Thats all i asked.
You tell me.
You created this.
So I get to the place where I just give up and stop trying to reason with you.
Yeah i noticed ...
And it was certainly not recently ... you start a debate, sometimes raise few interesting opinions (lately just repeating the same with different words), people start talking about them, and after some time ... you loose interest, and come back just to repeat nothing really matters, you no longer care, or continuing in that topic is pointless.
Funny it usualy dates exactly the moment when people start either asking hard questions, or showing on examples why would such suggestion never work. O_o
Coincidence? I think not.
And I do tend to think you are getting a bit hostile when you start saying things like "I mean ... sure, be my guest, play however the f**k you want ...
Just, since i dont find you qualified to decide what "makes sense" from roleplay perspective ... dont mess with my games. :-/"
What is hostile about encouraging people to do anything they want?
But whatever. Again. It doesn't matter.
See this is another thing ... you try hard to make the expression you dont care ... but if you dont care, why bother telling us that you dont care?

Oh there are definitely other fixes, such as moving some rest cutscenes to crossing unmissable triggers on the map
This dont sound like good idea. :-/
Personaly i dislike that Astarion thirst for blood is triggered by examining corpse of pig ... things like theese should in my honest opinion be strictly tied to amount of Long Rests ...
With triggers like this you can on one night have Astarion thirsty by second night (not sure about first one, since there is many conversations that would overwrite it in my opinion but didnt try) ... and in second gameplay, when you purposefully avoid the pig you never, ever, ever find out he is a Vampire (no matter how obvious it is).
Or another example is Gale hunger for magical artefact, if you keep him just "somehow liking you, but not too much" it never happens! O_o
making them available for both long AND short rests.
Im affraid i have seen somewhere Swen talking about this is technically impossible, since as they are focused on this whole "cinematics" ... they need specific place to record it.
If you would make talking with companions possible anywhere ... they would need to just strictly stand on place, and dont even gesture much, since otherwise they could easily end in some texture.
