[quote]I don't get how the decision makers don't understand how much players hate this and how much we love using things we love.[/quote] They absolutely do understand it, just as they also understood how much players hated cores as part of infusion. But in a game where they apparently can't deliver any real new content anymore they simply rely too much on their grinds, timegates, and currency sinks to inflate our play time. They simply have no other tools to keep us busy at this point, and it's sad.
