Hmm, so Anet was only going to give us 500, which would be only 100 more than keeping separate accounts. Thus, the discontents who moaned about the lack of slots have effectively given us another 100.

Maybe you should make a video of that. It might help those who believe whatever fuzzy math is thrown their way, as long as it comes from an authority figure.

Those who didn't 'understand' the apparently simple math have actually helped us out. Can't say the same for those who were happy with 5 slots. Here's to the moaners

Evil moaners with their sense of entitlement have given us more slots. We should bash them for it

The controversy that is occuring is not because people fail to understand what going but because they simply do not agree with it and think Anet's reasoning is fundamentally flawed.

I don't think you're intentionally pushing an opinion, but due to the nature of the other threads in the Community Works, anything posted here will be viewed as an absolute truth. This, in turn, implies that ANet's move was the right one, whether that was your intention or not. I feel like this is more of a marketing tool than a guide to anything.
