Letās start here and make something clear. If the main point you took away from that post is that Iām laughing at you, then thatās on you.
Sure, I could have pointed out that nobody from Funcom ā community managers, producers, devs, or anyone else ā has a special obligation to address any of the requests from the community, much less to lie about it or come up with excuses, without laughing at the absurdity of it to spare your feelings. But honestly, if those feelings keep getting in the way of reexamining your assumptions and realizing that thereās more to this story than what you believe, then again, thatās on you.
As far as Iām concerned, any time someone on these forums says āI donāt buy this excuseā, that deserves laughter. The hierarchy of knowledge and expertise here is as follows: people who actually work on this game, then modders, then the rest of us players. āI donāt buy this excuseā from that last group is the equivalent of ādo your own research on vaccinesā, and if that aināt āwasting the digital spaceā, I donāt know what is.
With that out of the way:
Of course thatās the way it seems to you, because youāve already decided what the story is 
We could quibble about his facial expressions and tone and stuff like that, or we could take his word and the words of modders who have actually dug deeper into this (e.g. @Testerle who made the Fashionist mod that adds armor stands) 
Which happens to be a very valid concern.
Yes, which is why I agreed we should keep asking for it. Itās not like I said āforget it, theyāll never do itā. Instead, I explained why Funcom dev team said they werenāt doing it and what their main concern was. And, as usual, thereās always someone who goes:
This time that someone was you. Next time itāll be someone else. Occasionally itās someone whoās capable of saying, āoh, I see, well I hope they find a good solutionā
Thereās nothing dumb in not coming up with an excuse, like you claim he did. If he couldnāt remember why, he could have said āyeah, that one pops up every now and then, and we have good reasons why weāre not doing that I canāt go into right nowā or something along the lines.
But he didnāt do that. Like I said, we could speculate what really happened, but I see no reason to look for elaborate explanations, when thereās a simple one: there are good technical reasons and valid concerns, and he had to try to find a good way to express those in ways an average player will understand instead of talking about skeletal meshes.
EDIT: At this point, you have all the necessary information to reexamine your beliefs and form your own opinions. We are now sliding into bickering, and thereās way too much of that on these forums. Consider this my final reply to you in this thread when it comes to this particular argument.
