And yet for some reason, if you find an Un-id'ed item, it's ok to
force someone to use a scroll to identify? The difference here is that
instead of a farming gold cost, it's a 'soak up the culture of the
victorian era' cost?
Steamband is a different game than angband, if you go through 20
characters in the same amount of time then you're doing it wrong.
Diving, which is a positive tactic in normal bands will not work quite
as well in Steam. I should hope there is a more gradual progression.

Way to dismiss eight years of work on a .4 software version. You're a

Enjoy passing off your judgments from your high mount of "I don't play
your stupid software".

Maybe you could play and see what the help do***entation does or does
not tell you. Or, and I'm sure this would certainly make me happier,
you could stop passing off your opinion on software you don't use.
You create a monster, item, and artifact list from scratch and see how
long it takes your non-existant varient to get 'fixed'.
