It wouldn't do them any favors to let something go unexplained.For my part, I think that there's nothing wrong with Crystalline responding to these concerns in this thread. Quite the contrary.
My agreement with Rhynka has to do with the fact that a good number of Crystalline members have been responding. I doubt that there are any bad intentions, mind, but it makes the thread seem kinda crowded with all these people saying "now wait, that's not the case" and some of them simply repeating Eva's explanations, and it can be intimidating.
Again, I don't think y'all mean to be. Of course you have a right to be defensive, given that some folks out there are clearly saying bad stuff about Crystalline, and many people do have these misconceptions about the guild.
However, when I say you're coming off as defensive, I mean that in a very particular way. People just coming into this thread could get the impression that it's a thread asking for feedback, but when people give their feedback, a bunch of folks jump in and say "But you're wrong about that!"
I just think that having one person respond on behalf of Crystalline might make things neater and less cluttered, and more effectively convey the desired attitude. It's just a suggestion though--it's possible that that sort of misconception isn't happening at all in this thread.
