Valid point about whether or not Verant thinks that this is a problem. I
will ask why you don't think twinking is a problem or that anything should

I accept your argument on this conditionally, since my field of expertise
is emergency medicine and not computer programming. Couldn't they have
added this into the Ruins of Kunark expansion? Wouldn't an expansion of
that size have taken a great deal of programmer time?
