Something I realized..
And this probably goes for most games.
The problem some of us have, is the fact that we started playing this game before it blew up. We got to love the game for various reasons, but mostly because it was generally a hard fought battle every game. We are the ones who MADE the game popular by loving it.
That brought in money for the The Company, and like all buisnesses, they wanted to expand and cater to more people, and slowly this means losing things that catered to us, as the game was slowly changed to be accepted mainstream by the average and perhaps even casual gamer.
Thats why the only TRULY good games, are console games. They are born, and die, as they are. Not slowly morphed and twisted untill they become a different thing. This is the fate of all online games in this new era. And it is kind of sad.
