That's your opinion, but facts are that you need to consider those x.x5 patches too because it means you have something to count on, while 3.1 had very few to count on AND coming 2 months late.
Also 4.3 MSQ blowing 3.1 is not up to opinions imho, the sheer amount of direction and care on it were much higher compared to 3.1. without even considering the content of it. Heck 4.1 was blowing 3.1 out of the water too as a story, the only MSQ of SB that is comparable to 3.1 quality is imho 4.2 since both are essentially setup MSQ, but then again 4.2 had 2 solo trials.

If ppl really think that 3.1 was better than 4.3 in any shape or form I'm afraid I'll say that they are simply deluding themselves, you are not putting things into context, 3.1 was a terrible patch much worse than this one and regardless what you think of the content having staggered release this patch has still things to come, while 3.1 had nothing and we also got an apology for that.
You can hate the staggered release how much you like, but honestly if you feel like you would have complained eitherway about the lack of content later in the patches at least admit that before complaining there's nothing to do now, because having HoH and eureka released earlier would have changed nothing.

And frankly in the past ppl on the forum have always looked down on ppl making lists because quality is better than quantity yet now some of those are doing lists, I'm very disappointed of this
