Blacksmith: Please don't read emotion into my text, as none is meant.
Neither of us handled this very well... I expected the final quest was part of the 24 Frosty claimed were included this round...
nebunelux's post said 24 of 25, which didn't help any to my belief there were either 24 or 25 (no mention of a Bonus quest as such)
You expected I meant the Bonus quest, which I did not even know about until Lodroth pointed it out as the culprit.
I am sure you are very busy in multiple sections of these forums, and I will try not to take too much more of your valuable time.
I was not taking pot shots... I was confused by two different STAFF who could not agree on how many normal quests there were, BEFORE I realized there even IS a bonus quest.
As to my communication skills, yup, you are right... I am not perfect either, and I appologize for that and any offence you may have taken.
I am 100% certain I have not skipped any Christmas Quests, yet I am stuck at 23 of 24 according to Frosty.
Since I have not clicked on any [SKIP] boxes, it is impossible for me to have missed any quests.
I have provided my in-game name, and if you want me to go through with an official ticket, I will...
But I would rather handle it in the public in case it turns out there is an issue that others face as well.
I will try to be more clear in the future, and as always I am willing to admit if I am wrong... In this case I was just confused at the conflicting quest count because some staff were saying 24 quests, and some were counting the Bonus to the total..
RE: It's nice to see...facts of game - Apparently you both know the same facts, but refer to the LAST quest differently.
I do prefer Lodroth's version... a Bonus is a Bonus and might not be played by some, but will not harm the Christmas Quest completion.
The two of you view the same details differently, and advice based on those views... I never used the word Bonus until I knew such a thing existed.
I am only pointing this out to help you to better help others in the future. If you had asked my meaning instead of assuming what I meant, we would not have wasted so much time (it's not a waste if we both learn from it however)
Thank you for taking on the daunting task of Moderator/Guru/Helper/Advocate/Etc... I know it's a difficult job.. been there, done that. (You can't ever please everyone all of the time)
I do appreciate you taking so much time out of your valuable day!
It makes me want to start a "Thank You, Mods and Managers" thread. I know you guys are under-appreciated.
Lodroth: Thank you for being so cordial and not responding like you were being attacked... +100 Kudos.
Blacksmith: You get +200 Kudos for having to make sense of my scatterbrained posts... I'm not perfect either. :-(
Cheers all!
