The difference between your desire to see only historically believable banners and the opinion of the majority of the people in this thread is that yours is totally exclusive and ours is not. You would officially place restrictions on other players' fun-time, whereas relaxed custom banner restrictions would, at most, hurt the "immersion" of a select few individuals, who would nonetheless be allowed to play with their desired banners.
Not true. There are two sides to this argument and they are mutually exclusive.
I find this stance that many of you put forward here ridiculous:
'If I can't have a pink penis on my heraldic surcoat my fun gets ruined and I don't want to play'Similarly you probably find this notion ridiculous:
'If I have a guy with a pink penis on his heraldic surcoat next to me my immersion gets ruined and I don't want to play'Yet both these notions exist, whether you believe it or not. The problem here is that the first notion is represented by many of the NA forum warriors, while the second notion is represented by mostly people with less English proficiency from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Greece or Turkey for example. The simple fact that you call this stance a minority opinion is ridiculous and that is also why I am here breaking a lance for these people next to Panos. This thread is a complete NA forumwarrior circlejerk where anyone who disagrees is being treated in a very abrasive manner. Hence why my post was similarly provocative and edgy, it does not entirely reflect my thoughts on the subject, or on Europeans and Americans. I have been going against the NA opinion train before and I can completely understand why people with less English skill would be hesistant to do so.
Few of you have even done a slight attempt at understanding the opposite position, but it simply exists. Remember many of the new good looking items we have gotten added to this mod? Many of them were paid for with real money by members of this community. They were all high quality historically authentic items. Players clearly value these things and so do the devs. Yet those items are now wasted next to pink penis warhorses. The developers value these items and have also moved towards a more realistic setting by removing unrealistic weapons and Calradian things.
Your argument that your fun is ruined by not being able to wear a pink penis and that everybody has to conform to your ideal of enjoying pubescent humour over immersion and tastefulness is called being a Naz
i as much as my argument is. You may find the immersion not having crazy banners brings overrated, I find the fun that crazy banners bring overrated. Stop thinking your opinion is the only one worth considering.
