Kudos to the Playah's!

Alright, so the last few nights I've been taking the time to actually play this crazy game we've got here. I have to say, without getting into individuals, I want to make a general kudos to the entire playerbase. Here's why:
• I surprisingly have lots of questions about how things work now (as a player). Sending anonymous tells to players has yielded 100% success in answering my questions and I've found all players to be not only very helpful, but also very kind and welcoming and nice.
• Making the world come ALIVE! I've been wandering all around and have seen lots of very creative fixture descriptions and setups all over the place. From statues of deities to dedications to heroes past, and all the paintings everywhere depicting game events from the older days, I love it all (well almost all, read below). It's great stuff!
Here's my one gripe though, and it might not be fun to read: I've also seen a bunch of fixtures that if I were on as a DM, I would have nuked.
Just as a head's up: If I've put a descriptive trigger text next to something, like the shack in the Arelith Forest West near the termites that states: "This shack is beyond repair..." it doesn't make much sense to put a dozen fixtures around it stating how it's not a shack that is beyond repair, but in fact a construction zone. I'm gonna blow things up like this, because its in direct conflict with something in-game.
Also something to be careful of: Building your temple in a monster lair. I see lots of dwarven pantheon statues everywhere, and I admire the work put in, but why are there a bunch in places that monsters lair in? I'll likely also blow things up like this too, as that's what the monsters would do if they woke up in their homes and saw the dwarven pantheon in their faces.
Anyways, sorry to get negative in a kudos post. It's meant more as a cautionary tale. Still, I've been having an absolute blast the last few nights playing, and I've been impressed with the great RP I've stumbled into all over the place. You guys rock!

I was half kidding,.. A bench doesn't have to have an epic bio. But the fixture tag I alwaydls stumble over
