I am not trying to hurt anyones feelings or anything, but this game has a massive hatred towards it from pretty much the entire gaming universe, it is a laughing stock.
Most people are indifferent towards the game. The truly passionate people are pretty much in extreme minority.

If this was such a major problem they would've hot fixed it by now. Something tells me they wanted this, but not to this extent.
Yoshida has stated this is the direction he wants the game to move to. It's a mistake, but that's something he has to realize himself.
