    Absolutely not, sir.

    In the IT world, we don't call anything "better" unless it clearly has two components.

    Better = Faster + Easier.

    If it's slower, users won't think it's better, no matter what features it has.

    This is also known as the Windows Vista Phenomenon.

    Although I agree with your statement, this is not the IT world.

    Your statement would of applied well if you were discussing a windows application to make something easier for users.

    I'm not hatin' by the way, just saying.

    And in MMO terms that means that the Market Wards and EVE's System fail. Thanks for proving my point.

    You're quite welcome. I'm an equal opportunity debater. I don't ignore valid points simply because I disagree with them. But when one person is championing a viewpoint so well, I feel little need to pile on. So it might seem like I'm ignoring them.
