I understand that this is your personal opinion so no need to push it on anyone. You've said your story before, other people can say their story without fear of being judged. There's no such a thing as preferred opinion, we all have a right to say ours without implying that it's insane or being pushed to change it. What is correct is completely relevant to each person situation, there's no such a thing as 100% right as the world constantly changes and none of us know everything.
You are absolutely free to say whatever you want to say, so is everybody else and so am I. If I find something insane (like in this case a check-box) I will also say just that. You are of course free to disagree with me as much as you like.
If anyone wants to come up with a situation where it is advantageous to tick the not-move button I will be more than happy to discuss that, too.
However to maybe contribute a bit more to this discussion, maybe I actually can add an argument against the moves:
The fact that people simply are afraid of change. Make them move to a rationally better spot will still make them complain, because change is bad by default. This may be something Inno has not taken into account when they made their decision, but I see no simple solution to that problem. So maybe Inno did think about it, but hasn´t seen any solution either. They just go along, make the game a better game and accept the complaints. They will eventually stop, when people get used to their new normal.
Maybe a few people will get so upset that they quit? Quite likely, but then again I am thinking a lot more people have quit the game in the past for sitting in dead end parts of the map. So overall Inno will definitely gain more than they lose.
This concerns especially the fact that they removed the opt-out option. People lose the choice. No matter how crappy that choice is it is still a choice. For me I wouldn´t mind people being stuck in deserts because of the bad choices they made. But Inno simply doesn´t want to deal with the fall-out, which I can understand from a company viewpoint. More people would be upset for being stuck in deserts due to their own bad choices, than will be upset about being forced into a better area. So Inno disappears the choice... I would do the same. Elvenar is not a democracy after all
