Pylat didn't once say that any of the Dev's sit on their arses. He put an idea forward that if they decide to look at additional moves, like the Shadow moves then there shouldn't be a reason why they can't have a look at some of the more popular old moves and see if they can adjust them to fit into the requiredments for CR2.

He was providing feedback on what some players would like to see, there was no demanding them to be included at all. We are perfectly aware of the work the dev's are doing, but just because they are churning out new content, does that mean we should stop discussing what we'd like to see and the possibility of their inclusion and what would need to be done? Perhaps Darminian should try to gain the context of the conversation before flaming someone.
Look I'm not going to get into an arguement over a phrasing which just happened to suggest that Rarebit sits on his arse all day, I'll admit it's probably an accident but the way it's phrased just gives that impression. Thats all I have to say.

Sarcasm is a bygone failure when it comes to words on a screen. To avoid this mess, might be helpful to put in parathesis or colons or something: That was sarcasm.

As for this idea, I would love to see a return of all of the disarm animations for whatever purpose - as well as new usage for the Zen master animations.
We can all hope and pray I suppose.

Hmm, no underlying tones of discontent, no demands Rarebit starts it right now. The phrase "toy" implies that he could *Choose* to do it in his spare time, a relaxed term indicating no pressure or demands. If I had of used the word "Work" it would have implied he's avoiding his job description/duties, but I didn't use that word. The defining phrase "Don't see a reason" indicates I see no technical reason, not referring to time constraints as those are a given (Given the funding SOE gives us I'm sure Dev time is the defining problem/factor in nearly all additions/changes they undertake).

These forums are great, I never knew I needed permission to use the different subsections as intended but I'll be sure to ask first next time.

Perhaps the focus should return to the idea of lost moves or even moves that would be cool to see in the game, or a discussion of a means to allow players to edit and submit moves - that's a concept semi-foreign but still interesting to me, a world where players can submit and theoretically add their own content - i don't mean all willy nilly so we have giant dancing bannas and ants with top hats, but like everyone can submit textures or animations and if they are liked they can get added, i mean if we do the busy work behind the new 'old' stuff, they could just copy the code.

Yes bring back all those other wonderful animations!  Maybe all animations could be bundled seperately and every other month they switch from one set to the other...?
