Yes, it is happening and to be frank I'm sick of it. I'm sure the OP is tired of it along with others.

No one is allergic to negative cr, it's just that it seems like there's nothing half these Templars can do to swing all that negativity around for something positive. It's like the option itself doesn't exist because everyone in game is obsessed with pushing negative cr over anything remotely positive.

It's like a one trick pony at this game. For me, it feels utterly repetitive.
