I saw _you_ taking it at another level. And like most everybody else, warned Brave about some of the KA (not all I am sure) will hope to interpret her act.
I would mention here the fact that Brave is working in the community OP together with House Etchmarc who donated her the Op she gave away. Maybe it's not the KA's business what happens to an OP owned by a neutral guild who donated to the community?
Secondly, a lot of us are very very used seeing Brave, humbly, without a reproach, for hours and hours, every single week for more than 6 months waiting in Pyr near her mektoubs, counting and exchanging free cats, flowers and mats for 20+ guilds and individuals.
Has anyone asked himself maybe she wants to play a little? Has anyone asked himself she is a player like all of us and all things have a limit? Has anyone among us the right to tell her: no, your game should be only to count and distribute hundreds of cats, wait for 4 hours untill we finish our hunts/digs/pvp then give, and be happy with it? How many of us have gone at least one month next to her, count the stacks, note down what guild received what? I tell you who: it's Etchmarc, the only one. This is the true owner of the OP who donated it and whom I don't see there protesting against her decision.
As Yaffle pointed very well here
it was bad political movement. And so what, Brave is not a politician. I do love politics on Atys but for no reason politics would stop me help a good friend or repaying a gratitude debt, and with me tens of other players who knew same well it's not a bright political act.
As you, DT, well point here
: it's unprecendented. And people are afraid of change yes, that's what makes it a bad psychological movement. Yeah, surprise, Brave is also a kami player, Bgz is the neutral. But a lot of people stepped over this fear, and mistaken or not, supported Brave, not because she was doing clever political/psychological movements, but because she is kind and nice, and people - on both sides - love her.
Like her many of us have seen our best friends leaving this game for its disbalances, like her most of us have seen our guilds going empty of the dear voices of time ago. (DT you should know what an empty guild chat sounds like). She saw it happening again; people close to leaving game, dear to her soul these people and decided to act.
I don't know how other people feel, but when a trusted friend acts out of such feelings and reasons, I don't care anymore if it's unprecedented nor if it's bad politics, I'm just there to support her!
