No. Not understanding other people's playstyles is not the issue. The issue is having this compulsion to tell them that you find their playstyle frustrating and annoying, that they are optimizing the fun out of the game, etc. And I never accused anyone of looking down on others. I said that I and the ghosters I know don't.

Let people have fun their own way. Just because you don't like someone else's playstyle, you don't need to tell them that. Anyway, I got it out of my system; time to m...

Fair point, it would be more accurate to say that none of the ghosters I know have a superiority complex, but I don't actually interact with that many ghosters despite being one. Maybe it's just a perspective thing. Still, I don't get this compulsion to tell people they're not having fun the right way.

My reply was aimed at the review itself. There is a difference in my mind between voluntarily choosing an aggressive playstyle and complaining that the mission forces you to abandon stealth when it's not the case.

This mission is exactly what I want this mission to be. I promise.

This mission does not stray away from stealth. It can be completed without directly confronting any enemy. Abandoning stealth a choice borne out of personal view of the mission (which you're free to have, but try not to misrepresent what the mission is).

Sorry but this review is factually wrong. Looking at the lootlist I made for it, you certainly don't need to find every gem available in the mission to fill the gems quota, and you don't even need to find any secrets to reach it. You also mention that the key in the sewers is not found where the readable says, but it literally is found where the readable says it is, and in a logical location to boot.

Also, if I remember correctly you do need to find a secret compartment in Thief 2's Runnin...

Where is the pun?
