1.0 players are in the minority. Who cares what you did years ago is just like an elderly person talking about how they had to walk to school in a foot of snow. Nobody cares except for those who did it and think we should all be subjected to bad game design to appease the people who are still bored.

If you want what the game originally had then perhaps you should have had more friends play it in 1.0. Now just deal with it and cry less.

Give them time to do more with it.
