No, you're just ignoring the fact that others have always played in different ways with different goals and shouting the loudest about what you consider to be "generally accepted over 10+ years" doesn't mean that it's true. heh

It's only more similar now as LaF are the only ones left who actually care enough to try and get top finishes en mass and fight about it on AT :p

IMO, most of the good netters who helped push more positive policies are long gone or have polarized themselves into believing their opinion is the only one that matters (see: yourself).

So go get beaten by Requiem :p
