What you are referring to is a "Broken Base". Fanbase, that is.
The best thing you can do in this situation is to do what you want to do without making concessions for the legions of whiny fans that will complain even if they get what they want, due to some asinine detail that only -blam!- retentive people could moan about. When you do your own thing, people tend to eventually sway over to the new system, or at least find it somewhat tolerable.
