Atleast the community would respect you. It was fine before this, now you made a mistake and you still have time to redeem yourself.
In all honesty, as far as the community goes and my involvement with Lifetank, I'm pretty sure a majority are glad that we are keeping the plugin alive and it's basic function working. As far as respect goes, I didn't expect to gain any from anyone. IMO I'm pretty sure, because of the louder nay-sayers, that a fair amount of people hate us for doing this and I've accepted it. It seems to me I'm damned no matter what route I take and I've yet to see anything to change my views. That's why I haven't went out of my way to discuss beforehand these controversial functions.

How does implementing this solve anything, honestly? Turbine chose to make UCM'ing illegal, and they knew they would be fighting a never-ending war.
I don't think it's the UCM part that really affect me as a player, it's the person doing the UCMing. It's those who UCM in large dungeons where ACM's don't want to see them, those who are UCM that leech xp or has died and camping the LS because no one is home, those who camp quest dungeons, etc... overall those who seem to intentionally ruin the game experience of others, while using a plugin with our names on it. I believe you could UCM, even though against the wishes of Turbine, but not affect other players who are attending.
For the most part, it's the abusers who've brought this action to everyone.

Things were fine before you made this little update, why not uphold the status quo? Did you really need the attention that bad?
I'm not here for the attention, the +1, or whatever you want to call it. I knew maintaining this plugin would bring alot of UNWANTED attention, but I did it because I still believed people use it in a somewhat "honorable" manner. It's the people who abuse it, and blatantly break the rules that piss me off, and then get mad when we have to remove a legit function that has a good use, because it was abused.

Not really, you're just making us go out of our way and find alternative ways to do what we were doing before this patch. The things that were implemented were definitely unnecessary
I'm sorry that you feel you'll have to use other plugins to gain what you're looking for. We're talking about making some improvements and re-introducing a few things this weekend.
