Problem here is always the same. Who wants change? Everybody. Who wants to change? No one.
Already you have forgotten the risky, the unknown frontier that 1.0 brought. It was smashed into the ground. The playerbase mostly cant handle it. I loved and played 1.0 hours every day. But i accepted the changes because i was in the minority and wanted the game to still be around. The risk nearly bankrupted SE. It's not going to happen, folks. End of story.
