Not the same anon, but with some characters it isn't easy to get 30 comments in only three threads because the characters just aren't the types to hold much more than a short conversation and getting past even 10 comments from them is tricky. So yeah, some of us did have to go take the easy route out and make a post instead because otherwise we would have failed just because our threads weren't long enough.

And that concern was indeed expressed when the new requirements were posted. While we get where you are coming from on the whole posting short threads just to get enough comments in just makes for crappy threads, at the same time pushing a thread on for too long is just as bad. And that also doesn't even get into the other player dropping the thread, or a natural conclusion happening before enough comments are gotten.

There really needs to be a happy medium here somewhere. I get where you guys are coming from and all with the limit, but at the same time it really is very restrictive. And as long as a restrictive limit like that will exist, there will be players choosing to make a post as the easy way out, because their other choice would be failing AC because they can't get 30 comments in only three links, but they are being active and doing stuff.
