To OP, don't get too worked up by the hateful, nonsensical comments you get around this parts, I read the forums on a regular basis, and civility is one thing most people around here are lacking, they will hate and spout any kind of nonsense, I suppose that is what you get when people have no clue on how correctly exercise the right to voice their opinion. Me for one agree with you entirely, I love this game, the hours I have put in this game are more than I have put in all the games I have played the last past year combined, but the truth is, most of the problems with the game are and the subsequent frustration from most players, is that most issues stem from decisions take by the developer, and yes, they it is their game and they are entitled to make changes and introduce new mechanics or to take away those that were already in place, I am just dumbfounded by how most those changes "enrage" the community en masse. Sometimes I actually wonder whether they don't foresee the backlash they may cause by introducing some of this "improvements" like taking away the XP buff from the Nightfalls, nerfing weapon parts (just so they have to come with a "fix" after people complain for weeks on end about weapon parts drought, or one of my favorites, not giving any issue to Etheric light for months, the only reason why I would actually run the Iron Banner whenever it came out, never did it for the gear or the weapons, only for the Etheric light, so I guess in hindsight for me, it is not a bad thing that the drops during the last IB were as bad as it seems they were. Anyway, thank you for your comments, it is good to see there is still people around this parts that at least try to give some constructive feedback.
