Flaming, trolling, uncivil discussion will be deleted.
So everyone is on the same page:: We fix bugs. That's what Fate spends most of his time doing. People post bugs, I spend most of the time verifying them, and move it on for Fate to see.
Hero's quest was able to be done without appropriate requirements. In the midst of fixing that, we also added requirements to rune plate because a bug allowing a player to wear rune plate without finishing the quest was found and reported. Removing plate pures was not the point of fixing these things, but it happened.
So now that everyone knows WHY the fix occurred, we can move on to a reasonable discussion about this issue that hasn't been talked about since Alex originally had drop-trades removed due to Legends capes.
We are open to the idea of removing defense levels and removing the quest from those affected -- which I think accounts for about 7 characters? There aren't many who actually log in.
Or just dropping the magic requirement and making that particular map piece able to be traded. This would give everyone the ability to create a plate pure if they so decided to.

So whats up? Those who do not have a plate pure, you really don't have an opinion in this as you are not directly affected. Those who do have a plate pure, we weren't trying to fuck you over. Flaming in-game and spamming your anger in-game results in absolutely nothing, the forums exist for exactly these types of problems.
