    I could design a system that would not be "infinitely worse." And if I can do it, I know the Devs could as well. This is a multi-billion dollar corporation. Do you maintain that they cannot afford to hire talented people?

    Hey, go make your own video game if you're better than SE. Let us know when it's out.

    SE has been losing money this year, so, no, they cannot afford to hire new talented people.

    And, while you might be able to design a system that would not be worse, I seriously doubt you know enough about the current code base to determine whether it could be reasonably implemented.

    The problem I have with arm-chair coders is that they sometimes appear to have no clue about the limitations of pre-existing code, especially when it comes to an MMO with at least 6 years of pre-existing code.
