However, despite this, we do need to make a change to the mechanics (and the way that clothing bless deeds operate is very much a mechanic) in order to make blessed items break. Also, we have also been discussing, in house, a reasonable method of compensation for those who have acquired blessed items over the last 2+ years, but we have not made any significant decisions as of yet.

All that's been done here is that a line has been drawn in the sand, the original issue of non breakable items still exists. You can consider this patch my dodge on the issue if you like; but the underlying reasons these items have not been corrected is that I specifically said "these items will not ever break", "never?", "that's correct.". If for example I said "Accounts will never be deleted for inactivity", and then you left for a year, came back and your account was deleted (for inactivity), you'd be outraged. I expect that we would find that it may or not be "era accurate" but that would not have any bearing on whether or not we should start deleting peoples accounts after I gave my word that we would not.
I'm sure holes can and will be poked in this comparison for many reasons. But to that I simply restate, no final decision has been made on existing items. This patch is a dodge, no decision has been made on existing items, only on future items.
So let's see here....This topic has been going on and on and on and on and on and on....for over 3 years now and nothing has been changed. Take the hint people!
Derrick specifically said that they will NEVER break, but the issue isnt closed. So basically, if he changed it so that they did break, he would be a liar plain and simple. I believe Derrick to be an honest guy and I dont believe he would go back on his word.
That being said, you people are just wasting your time and energy. Move
