No, it is not so terrible. However, I feel like some of these arguments, not just yours, are not evaluating the full picture in a reasonable manner. Yes, I must have missed that part and I do apologize. My comments were not solely directed towards you but the general, and often parroted, arguments I have seen in my 12 years here.
Otherworldly expectations are often the death of some of our, mine included, abilities to see a situation for what it is. Cut-outs are not a bad thing, nor are they a great thing. They’re also not the “end of the world” as I’ve gotten the feeling from some on here. All in all - this was a move to help bring a dated area up to current cultural snuff enough to provide something before and post epic. They’re not going to build a fantasy springs type world here because that’s what they’re doing at epic. My point: it’s not bad to be critical but it’s not always good either. They’re not building this for “us”.
