That does make a fair bit of sense for this potential system of skill drops. I wonder if there is a way of testing whether it is in fact the way it happens.

- - , but a BB (I believe Marin) did look into another case of a player dropping two levels in a skill before and said it wasn't a bug.

I what do you think he did? I would have said the same without moving my eye, or even being eyeless, I would have said the same. Do we sit here thinking BB-Here and BB-There is turning every stone to check if the mix of code made a 33 years old player jumping a skill or two? I'm naive, but not that naive.
Things happen, and that's the way it is ...

Please don't imply I'm a lazy liar with no real arguments. Just because you would do something the easy way doesn't prove that I'd do the same. I do take such things personally.

- - I do take such things personally.

OK.

Just wonder whether you analyze the whole code to check if some variables are not working proper, say according to age contra time since last training in skill, contra time played, contra influence of training side-skills, contra trainers ability, contra time played in other positions, and so on - according to height as well. I'm amazed! You are the future man in this organization.

That's not what I did nor I said I did that. That's just your opinion of what you think I did. I have no reason to get into a discussion here since I don't have to explain to you what are the mechanisms of checking such things. Also, there is no reason for you to accuse me of lying without having any evidence to support it. You sure have some trust issues. Am I any different from other users on the forum? If you can't trust me on what I say, then can you really trust anyone for anything they say? Is there any sense of reading and writing on the forum if you think we are all liars? Maybe it's all just a big conspiracy against you and you alone!

Sorry, I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm just a realistic, educated programmer, knowing what it takes to "look into that" and make a conclusion that a mishap in this code-mixture (as other BBs clearly excuse) not has taken place. Sorry, but that is the truth when it comes down to running a type of game like this. Just don't make us look stupid. We can't always take a true story as a true story. That is what a tried to make a statement about. Not very smart, but although ... said is said!

This is a clear difference of views that will never be settled, no matter what I say or do. I have stated what I had to say and if you still don't believe me, that's your problem. Matter closed.

So we close.

stil I'd like to add somet stuff.

in the history of the game, there have been many bug reports.

many bug reports have been around for quite a time, before the where resolved. Either by checking things and see there was no bug, or by fixing an actual bug.
there is no reason for a BB to say they checked something, if they actually didn't check it. They just can't afford to do it. Because IF there realy would be a bug, those things would keep happening, and it's not good for the game, and therefor not good for them.
If such would be there policy, then why have there been so many bugs in the past that didn't get looked into in fast ways. Why would bugs stick around, until after a long time the BBs told us there was no bug after all? why didn't they just say so immediatly?
Because they do look into those things.

If we are talking about naive, then tell me why BB-Mark and BB-Charles are paying the other BBs salaries, just for not doing what they are hied to do? I suppose Mark and Charles can just as well react of the bugs they looked into them whitout having to pay extra BBs. Thinking BBs are being payed for not doing what they say they do ...well... that sounds a bit naive to me.

Fixing bugs might be timeconsuming. I am no programmer, but I do trouble solving in my job in my own way, and I know hours fly past before you know it. So I won't argue about that statement. But tracking and fixing bugs is BBs top priority, as they can't afford to keep runing erronous systems, and they know it.
I'd realy be surprised if they handle bug reports lightly...
that's my opinion
