Not to be rude, replying to someone's idea to be "trash" may sound like a derogatory remark. Though, it's completely not offensive when they put it as their view. I'd care less if a person came along and viewed my ideas and says "trash" to one of it. It's just their expressed opinion. I mean, who cares? Disregard it, ignore it, forget about it. You have to learn how to absorb these things in a good way.
I like both ideas. But the 1st one might change. They should be rewarded more than 12,500 hours for that healing staff. Seems kinda little. Should be at least 18,000 or more hours.
