FYI the reason I might be so hard about it is because I want to get rid of the misconception that there is only 1 correct way to distribute chests.
Let me tell you about a player who has now quit again.
This player had 20.000 kp and growing in his inventory. and he was constantly complaining about the lack of wondermail in his fellowship.
I pointed out to him there the above could also be an option. but his answer was short and direct "only wondermail was acceptable, he was no charity and spending kp in your own wonder was an absolute waste of knowledge points" (sounds familiar?)
I pointed out that with his growing supply of knowledge points he would at no place be welcome as his vast supply of knowledge points would swamp the wondermail and push away every other single player which would not be welcomed.
So for himself and other players it would be best if he used an alternative strategy (similar like I do for the same reason, my wondersearching created so many knowledgepoints that it would be me vs my fellowship which is a bad thing)
Eventually he got so frustrated about this and a few other things he quit the game again.
For him things where black or white but al things are some degree of grey.
People should open there eyes, there is no such thing as this way only.
When soggy came with wonder society I was like, hell no I hate a sheet, but when he explained he never used a sheet it was like ok I am open to that (in fact I was already using it without knowing it for the reason above, I already figured out an alternative so that I was no burden to my fellows)
I like the wondermail, not because it's the best but because it's easy. and thats why it's so well adopted everywhere.
I like the wonder society in the wat karvest fellowship uses it because it's easy and distributes the knowledge points more fairly but wondermail is now so normalised that people find it hard to switch to something else.
I Do not like Wonder society like suggested by elvengems, while I like the better distribution of prizes, I do not like the high entry it requires. sheets are a fairly high treshold thats especially horrible on mobile devices.
Getting 25 players to use a sheet is not easy, getting 25 players to use one of the other systems is quite easy as it's somethig that can be done in game without external resources. it's simple and it's easy.
simple and easy are the easiest route to succes.
and we aren't a little FS.
