I've really come to dislike the "popularity" argument because every single person who is using it clearly means to devaluate criticism one dares to have on the job and then they wonder why that argument isn't received well. You can repeat it over and over again, it doesn't make SMNs gameplay better, nor does the aestetics argument.

The people coming here just want the job be the best it can be. Most people don't care about the "old" DoTs, they just want the job to feel more complete and play better.
