Ok Thanks.
In regards to: Perhaps PP players, or PvP combat players in particular, believe that the rest of us are not as clever as they are and can't see through the false premise?
Not at all. However its generally accepted that a person who specializes in a certain field, take a doctor for instance, would have far more experience and knowledge on a certain topic ie medicine than the local clerk at your local health food store.
Same goes for Elite my friend.
False premise again, my good man.
To stay on topic - but also in the metaphorical sense stay with your doctor as well - what you are trying to do is to block other peoples access to medical cover, just because you are more familiar with the principles of medical treatment.
We aren't talking about the principles of medical treatment in this thread, this conversation about OOPP is instead the discussion about
access to medical treatment.
That is why you may well be the SME on PP itself, but you cannot, in all conscience, then say that because any other player is less qualified than you at PP then their access to it, or restriction of access to it, is not of their concern. It is absolutely their concern, and deep down we all know this to be true.
In that context, I'd be grateful if you'd refrain from saying:
"I know about Power Play. Therefore it should be Open Only." < --- this is not a logical fundamental standpoint so far as I can tell...
