It's basically the result of listening to what you call "Waypoint kiddies." I'm typically not one for pointing fingers but that's exactly what it is.
In their defense, they are just listening to their most vocal and popular community group so you can't blame them entirely. Of course, they do have some of the blame for implementing such contradictory systems.
I guess I'm becoming a nostalgic gamer in the sense that I now look back on the "good ol' days" and wish they were more like back then. Back when listening to your community did not consist of implementing a stupid Grifball playlist. Sorry, everyone, that doesn't mean they listen. It only benefits them as a company by getting more people to play. It is not an indication they really care.
I think the upcoming ranking system is going to help quite a bit. I know we will find flaws and pick them apart and likely discard it because it's not 1-50 but at least it's something. They didn't have to. And THAT is listening.
Agreed. Even if it isn't much, the fact that they are listening says something.
