People tend to complain a lot. When nothing happens they complain because nothing happens. When something finally happens they complain because that something is not favouring them. One thing I learned from playing this game for a long time is that people are very hard to please and they tend to complain rather than suggesting something more productive. Also, people don't appreciate volunteers who put hours of their leisure time into this game to improve it just out of their love for the game.
I remember when Tom asked people to help him with his new game, not many people bothered.
As for what is right with BM, I think it imitates power struggles pretty well. Many games try to do the same but I don't believe many games do it successfully. For a game this old, it is pretty impressive.
