BJW,
Nobody is trolling. I'm actually a huge fan of this colorway, as I've said before. Sometimes you will notice that the biggest fans of something are also the biggest critics - precisely because they see the potential of what this set COULD BE, but it just barely missed the mark. In my case, it is missing one key which makes it go from "hmm.. maybe i'll buy a few of these" to "hmm I can't even use this."
GMK Ceresia uses white legends and it is beautiful, but if you want a darker theme, Forged is one of your only options along with Demonic. However, GMK Demonic uses a different red that doesn't, IMHO, look as good as P3.
For me, I was very happy to see the support of 1u novelties for Tsangan support. However, why would anyone then decide to remove the 1.25u novelties? Tsangan is less popular than standard layout, so now you are supporting Tsangan at the expense of supporting standard which, as folks above point out, makes no sense. You should always start with standard layout support and then add support for other layouts from there. Novelties, if you are going to commit to the expense of doing them, should be available in R4 1.25u and R1 1u at a minimum, and then you should probably do R4 1u and R4 1.5u. After that, you can start getting really creative (Enter key?) depending the price-point you are looking at.
These small issues matter and add-up to mean fewer buyers, which ruins the groupbuy for everyone if you can't hit MOQ. The most frustrating part is that all of these issues were pointed out in the IC and seemingly ignored. Why would you do an IC and then ignore the community feedback? Someone took the time to make a suggestion that could make your set better. If you are not going to accept that suggestion, at least justify your reasoning. Maybe the designer has a good reason for not including 1.25u novelties or a 6u center-stem. It would be nice to understand the thought process.
Ultimately the designer gets to do what he or she wants, but the market decides if the kit is successful or not - such is the nature of group buys.
