It's just a game.

Also, this precious "investment" will blossom into what? more make-believe elf-sim pixels in a make-believe world.

No, you're right, shit is definitely serious business.

It's a hobby for people. Why wouldn't they take it seriously? How much do golf clubs cost? Guns? Camping equipment? You might think it's stupid, but it's no different than any other hobby. You sound like the guy I work with who goes to the Renaissance Festival to make fun of the people in costume only to wear a speedo and full body paint to a football game.

No one expects you to take this seriously if you don't want to, but don't be an ass to the people who do.

When I first saw this thread I thought "calm down!"

But I get it, you are passionate about your hobby, and I love that you are trying to improve it in the way you know how.

I for one wouldn't mind open petitioning but the reality is it would start a plethora of mis-quotes imo

Would love to see what the big boys up stairs think

I enjoy the Ren Faire, and support it annually, thank you very much.

The amount of money you spend on your hobby doesn't determine how serious you are about it. That just sounds stupid, for real, it's all about the passion, homeboy, and passion doesn't = money spent.

If you wanna play the "you sound like..." game, I'll fox with you.

If you were a super hero, your name would be Captain Fun-Drain.

You've completely missed the point. You are not the judge of what people can and cannot take seriously. If you don't like it, fine. Just don't be an ass to people who are serious.

GIFs are not a substitute for wit.

If everyone petitioning would learn to not take it so seriously, there'd be no problem to fix and you could spend more time seriously enjoying your hobby. Unless being a bureaucrat is your hobby.

I'm sure it will cause far more drama than it prevents, and I'm for it simply because it will create interesting threads to read.
