So, let me guess this straight, we didn't change the class system because we feel that it has much more potential than Warband's item system, and that means we don't listen to or care about player feedback at all? Come off it...
Combat has improved vastly since the start of the beta to where we are at now, based on player feedback. And of course, we will continue to work on this and improve it. Likewise, the complete visual design and names of the troops have been reworked with the help of our community. We also have some rough plans for a single life game mode in the works too.
Look, I get that you are upset because you prefer the old item selection system, but to jump to this extreme stance and say we don't listen at all is simply unfair.
