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).

It's just that lately there's been a lot of flaws and it's making me question why this is so when back then it wouldn't have been this noticeable. Or at least, a lot of it would be excusable.
