So we have no intention of making this change at this time. It is possible to change our minds. The way you are attempting to do that is not effective. If you would like to accomplish your goal, here is my advice. I do understand that there is a language barrier here so I’m trying to help.

  1. Stop using words like “commandment” or “final judgement”. You are offering a suggestion. Something about how forceful you’re phrasing things makes me want to do it even less.

  2. “Because another game did it” is generally not a good argument. All of the systems works together and taking one element from another game and attempting to slot it in rarely works well.

  3. Use the phrase “when x happens, I feel y”. Sometimes the best solution isn’t obvious and phrasing the problem this way gives us the ability to look at the issue from different angles. Telling us the solution limits the scope of our investigation.

  4. Consider why the system is in place and offer specific suggestions to replace it with another system that accomplished the same goal. I understand that you might not agree with the system but assuming that it does something important, maybe we would be more receptive to changing it if you offered an alternative which accomplished the same goal.

  5. Consider that you might not be right. It’s possible that you are completely correct. It is also possible that you aren’t. Your feedback is very absolute and doesn’t leave room for a discussion. I would be much more interested to engage on the topic with you if it were presented not as an absolute.

  6. Don’t make duplicate topics.

  7. Don’t overbump your own topic. Seeing the same thing pop up with no new discussion just reinforces to me that this is not a popular opinion. Every time I see this topic, I do read it. However, in reading the discussion, I am even more convinced that I do not want to act on it. One really solid point is dramatically more effective than a bunch of the same opinion with no well thought out argument to back it up.

I hope this has been helpful.
