First off, its not about blaming players at all. We've all done things that have been beneficial and suboptimal for the game. The concern is more confronting an attitude that BattleMaster was ever intended, or is acceptable, to try to win BattleMaster, and that is something to be congratulated. Willfully ignoring that BattleMaster is not a game about winning, and then doing just that, and patting oneself on the back for it is not a good sign. And I say this as someone who started playing BattleMaster in CE, Cagil is near and dear to my heart. But the whole situation seemed every much that "we had fun while it worked for us even though over the years lots of players expressed concern with the island's direction, and we only realized we need to change when it began affecting us by loss of players" and even now in your argument, that seems to be the case. I'm glad players stepped up to make changes, but they were far too little too late and should've happened years earlier.
