I fail to see why Warmane should go by votes. There's a group of people who wants x1, group of people who wants x3, group of people who wants x5. Having adjustable rates should be pleasing for all. Yet some low level rate wanters can't seem to be okay with it, and they feel that in order to enjoy the game, everybody else should play on their rules. A bit silly isn't it.
Want to raid quickly? x5.
Want to level slow? x1.
Want something between? x3.
[Chad option]: Want to play rates you want, but don't want to limit others' fun? Adjustable rates.
It's like adjustable rates is the way to go, and rates discussion should end at that. Of course we can't have nice things like that, so we are stuck on rates discussion loop for all eternity.
