Isn't that how we got the caps in the 1st place??
I don't believe it is actually.
edited to clarify.
I work with teenagers. I have for the last 25 years. I wish I had a nickel for every kid who was there a day and knew exactly what was wrong with the program and what we needed to do differently to make it better for them. I'd probably own my own P38 by now. In the end you do what's best long term for those kids, even if they don't like the short term impact.
Hitech's been doing this a long time. His responsibility is to his business, the people he works with and the long term survival of that business. Folks seem to think that the staff over there is removed from the game somehow and doesn't know what goes on. How dumb is that? You have to believe that they are in the arena's often, paying attention to the gameplay and the actions of the players. I'd imagine that they have folks within the game whose opinions they trust to get input from. In the end, the buck still stops with Hitech. To think that he jumps at every whine thread, whether it be from a 'furballer' or a "win the war" guy is ridiculous if not a backhanded insult to the guys who built the game.
Give them a little more credit for knowing what is best for their business.
