There isn't some grand conspiracy in the background, the majority genuinely enjoys the game.
It isn't a useless pile of shit, though pretty shallow if the story isn't enough for you.
Just the way it is: kids and the common folk took over RPGs from the neckbeards
Typical hyperbolization that fanboys do to discredit any kind of criticism.
It is not gonna work with me.
Seriously, how slow are you?

I'm at the front when it comes to criticizing this game, I'm disappointed and would like it to be completely overhauled.
That said, I'm also capable of understanding that other people have different priorities and
plenty of them do not like the optimization/numbers game as much as I do.
