As interesting as the mob damage conversation is, I'm pretty sure this topic was supposed to be about auto-reg. I guess we're all basically looking for the simple answers:
1. Is this a permanent change?
2. If it is permanent, will it become optional or strictly enforced from here on out?
I know I'm hoping for optional myself as are many others. I won't BS my way through saying stuff like "I played for this long and I remember!!!" Frankly, it was a long time ago and many changes were made while I played. As to what or when they were? Well, I've slept since then. I'm hoping for the optional but I'm not gonna stop playing if it becomes permanent. I'll just be a little less likely to build my JD back up... or maybe just use the points for something else on him. Like missiles?
