I would like to see a poll, by ATA which simply asks if they would prefer shrines to be removed from the game entirely or not. I suspect a large majority (even of paying members like myself) would vote Yes ...remove them. Massive mistake and too many have already quit because of them...
They're not interested in us. We can't spend as much money to compete in these things, so what we might want or need, any ideas we might have to improve the game for everyone... it doesn't matter.
You'd think the corresponding drop in revenue (which inevitably happens when people stop spending and/or leave) would get through to someone, wouldn't you?
