San's Q2: Explosive Projectile Crafting

My second question, originally posted here:

I would like to kindly ask to lay open the reasons and rationale MindArk had for introducing Explosive Projectile crafting in this particular way. What did you hope to achieve, was it achieved, and what internal or external factors would influence its future?

The calls for retracting it aren't ending any time soon. It is confounding and seen as damaging by many. However, there is little but assumptions founded by more or less subjective perceptions in the argumentation both pro and contra. Hundreds of posts have been written, this latest one sums it up nicely i.m.o.:

Please help us understand at last, to form a solid base for drawing conclusions about agreement or disagreement. I understand that a large portion of the allure of this game is that the community is left with figuring out its mechanics, but EP crafting is decidedly not a part of this and the uncertainty about what it's supposed to mean in the game's context is deeply unsatisfying.

It is pointless to repeat all the arguments made hundredfold in other threads. Purpose of this AMA question is to get it from the horse's mouth and settle this dispute authoritatively. Please be so kind and keep this thread clean for the highly anticipated official answer. We want to concentrate on gaining new insights, not new levels of loudness from the known stances. Thank you.

Like the nurture and nature debate. Everyone has their own view and some have very strong beliefs on the subject. Only MA has the answer, but how they give that answer will determine how long the argument will go.

Do not answer him. He neither knows nor understands. but he will always answer you, because he believes that if he does so, he is right.

Ah the troll is back :eyeroll:

Agree its pointless to repeat it thousand times.
The positions are clear and who read up in others threads will know that I am PRO Explo.

Do you really think an answer to your question will settle this disput?

There will always be pros (like me) and cons.

Personally I dont think the answer to your question will settle disput, it will just shift it to another level, as there is additional information on the topic (MAs expectations vs visible impact in game).

Its surely interesting to get that answer, but I dont think it will change anyones position in this disput.

This isn't about what you or any player likes but what MA had in mind when they created it. I'd like to know their side to hopefully help us all understand better. It may turn out that you got it right, or someone else, or none of us.

WHY does everyone feel behooved to drop their half cent worth of guesses when they're clearly not asked.

I don't like doing this but I'm inclined to kindly ask a mod to clean up and lock this thread for the official answer. After it got the visibility it deserves, let the kids loose again. Thank you.

Seriously?

Its in the AMA section, so its a question to MA not to the comunity.

I totally understand Sans reaction.

He dont want another thread 200+ pages with posts what comunity thinks, he wants an answer from MA.

Beside that, I want that answer too, although I am 100% sure it wont change my mindset about Explo.
