On the whole I think I can’t agree with the article, either. I’ wouldn’t say the game is perfect, but repeatedly making a point about playing an old game because it is cheaper and you aren’t enjoying the gameplay of a newer game as much - and you aren’t even involved in the discussion of Microtransactions but you’re gonna mention them repeatedly and disregard all of the gameplay addititives to mention them another time feels like a baiting article.

Even with my verbose explorations of issues with the game I am not going to deny that CoO and The Dawning both brought a lot more into the game through gameplay than most people have been giving it credit for. And Mayhem and Snowballs were way more entertaining than those 3 weeks had any right to be - and bruv didn’t even get involved to rag on it? It is one thing to not be into it, but the article pitch feels kinda slimy.
