The hundred something nerds that think that the MP system that has never brought the company as much money as SP and never made it out of obscurity popularity-wise is the perfect one? The very same entitled bunch that thinks that because they've sank vast amounts of hours into an obscure "competitive" experience with almost no fresh blood from the outside for 10 years, that they are now suddenly the experts on how proper competitive games must be made? The very people that consider a game with such a nonexistent balance that they had to ignore a whole faction like it was never there as the benchmark for the said balance? The people, the entitlement of which allows them to think that it is acceptable to straight up demand and whine about trivial things as if the devs owe them something and insult them when they receive a "no"? The same people that measure a person's worth by their own obscure standards of how good he or she is in their favourite game? You mean those people?
I honestly think that nothing would be lost if the devs just ignored them, but somehow they actually do listen, even if not agreeing to everything.
