Why do the devs hate MCH so much?

[Shurrikhan]

My stand is that he knows how to make an MMO, just that he peaked and has since not done so hot in several areas. He's definitely lost base and is lacking in communication and touch with his playerbase, as many of his decisions seem whimsy and questionable. Even when the product is good, sometimes I wonder who realistically asked for it, and why take the extra mile of making something grand out of it (like Island Sanctuary).

Tbf, I wouldn't mind those oddball additions if we could easily see the mechanics/tech of that content seeing returns elsewhere, too, or at least hear how it'll be relevant further down the roadmap. We seem to in equal measure (A) leave content to rot unnecessarily and (B) fail to make it of use of to other content that's not an obvious and immediate sequel to it (Pagos -> Pyros, etc.).

Agreed. Quite a fair bit of oddball additions are good. But a lot of other stuff either comes incomplete or just feels disconnected. Especially the content that rots away or otherwise gets abandoned. And it's a shame because what I meant by that was how much of it was just dropped despite the sheer amount of effort.

And while it's cool to have oddball additions, sometimes they need to understand they have other priorities. And not addressing them is going to bite them later on in the future.
