This is clearly unfabulous behaviour and the AFG would like to point and laugh at you all as you become increasingly frustrated that you are unable to macro running/jumping, picking flowers (not that you could ever become as skilled as I at it) or fishing.
Wouldn't complain at all if they did a "default" (not a full wipe) of characters. After all, the original timeline didn't include "log in and play" on the same day as totem placement. In fact, I was under the impression they wanted us to log off once we placed a totem... so those who stayed... well...
By the way Commissar Gromitovsky - I now have 6 toes on each foot and a third arm growing out of my forehead thanks to that little romp through a Tiberium field you sent me and my mates on a few years back.
