I've added your thread to the " Compiled SAM threads against 6.1 changes / Kaiten removal ".

A very accurate description and your last line hit as well. The word " adrift " is befitting, trying to find something else that fills that void that was Samurai enjoyment... and it is just not the same no matter what else I try. Indeed no one asked for the changes, and Kenki management as easy as people make it out to be? It was fun, satisfying, rewarding, gave Flare, Flavor, and at least more depth compared the heck they turned it into in the current 6.1. I agree with your post, gave it a like. Lets hope our voices get heard.
