That was hilarious. In a busy game this wouldn’t be necessary (and was frowned upon) but I sort of agree with his reasons for re-opening in the interim. Also, at least someone has to show up and do the work.
General loot multiplying was intentional for sure, but this certainly stretches things, as with the other alting situations. Lots of stuff to clarify here, things James ignored or addressed privately. In time the list of policies will surely become, shall we say, monumental? 
EDIT: Sorry I’m quoting myself a bit today but there are reasons for that.
The main reason being it creates some contextual pointers to the previous dialogue on some of these frequently rehashed topics. I really do want solid answers, and have always pressed (Sometimes too much) for them.
But for the same reason I posted a pic of an old boundless macro tool, many of us have been involved in this stuff before, at this time if we want these issues addressed in a constructive manner - it should help to provide some context for the people who have to prioritize and address the issues.
It’s hard to find stuff on this monolithic forum and we can hardly expect newer players (or newer owners) to quickly key in on the relevant context.
For me, it’s often easiest to find a thread I remember by searching my own post history.
