OP has a point, but he has played only a few seasons, all in the wild and wacky world of 3.0. Would be nice if we could go back to 2.0. maintaining a select few of the "refinements" in 3.0--but our lead programmer was somewhat fluent in code, and functionally literate in English. Means they didn't document 2.0. so there is no going back, and making modest changes in 2.0. They found it easier to make sweeping changes in 2.0, rather than more modest changes, and they didn't document 3.0 either, meaning it will be very difficult to change. All that means the game is not in a great place right now, but it is still a game. Nobody is forcing people to play, and hordes have left, more all the time. I would, if there were a viable alternative that offered similar immersion. There is not. So, personal choice, play with the deeply flawed version for now, and hope they can improve it, or quit. That simple. Will stay at D3 until they figure it out--or fold the game.
See that cardman17's original post has been pulled, though it lives on in links. Not sure what point bdr127 is making, beyond the obvious.
