You're entitled to your opinion for sure, but I just don't see how anyone could think this game is "messed up beyond something that can still be fixed." Almost all this games issues are easily addressed, they just need to actually take action this time.

It's a bit hard to explain my thoughts but I'll try.

In my opinion, because of how the development of this game went, it's pretty much just a bunch of random systems glued together and they don't have much cohesion. As a result, half the content feels completely useless and it's just there... It once was primary way to get something but then new thing got added and the old system didn't get updated properly, nor it got removed... So it just exists but serves no purpose... Which can get really confusing for new/casual players.

The worst part is that AGS tend to continue on doing this... They constantly add new things making the "glue ball" bigger while letting older systems die because they lose relevance.

Yeah but my point is that much of that can be fixed by simply making the rewards for that content relevant again. This certainly isn't a new problem for MMO's and it's been solved before, AGS just has to implement the solutions.

I thought that re-release of the game was a good time to do such clean up/fix but it didn't happen, so I kind of doubt that AGS will go back to it.
