This same argument is made every couple years when these sanctimony-filled tip threads pop up. I don't share the absurdly fatalistic view that if Globs complain about benefits, these benefits will be cut, nor do I believe it is fair to dismiss complaints about properties not honoring stated benefits as "complaining for the sake of complaining". The reality is that most Glob benefits aren't a "big deal" and everyone values benefits differently, but pretty much all Globs will have a benefit they value enough that they'd complain if properties refused to honor it.

Nothing wrong with picking battles. My point is that some people will pick this battle and it's unreasonable to attempt to dismiss those complaints.
