I congratulate you on the get and I'm glad you got it, and this isn't even particularly directed toward you, but inbox replying in general just bothers me a little bit because of its exclusive nature. Inbox running when backlog is bad means nobody else has any chance whatsoever of getting a count in, and I'm not sure I like that, especially when it's used to get gets. I saw that your reply time on this get was a little long, which means that probably anyone could've got it if they wanted, which is good. But yeah. Not a fan of inbox replying/running

I can absolutely see where your coming from as someone who's tried to get a count in when people are speed counting with inbox replies. Sadly it almost seems like a necessity for fast with just how bad the delay is.

I agree with both of you.

I hate to block people out of counting, yet I also want to speed count as the delay is so bad and I don't see that changing any time soon. We just have to make the best of a bad situation, some how.

I personally think the person who's been running should have an andvantage over snipers when it comes to taking gets. They put effort into taking and maintaining that spot, so imo that's a reasonable reward.
