    That's a perfect analogy for the current MMORPG situation.

    Uh-hu.

    So how about we change and adapt when its actually necessary to change and adapt.

    And not randomly, quasi on principle ?

    Dont fix what isnt broken in the first place.


    There is nothing universally seen as perfect such that it is insulated from change.

    As such, change is inevitable. We must adapt or be left behind.

    We're consumers. We don't need these products. No we don't have to adapt. 
    And it seems that a growing number of people are not adapting, in the larger picture. 
    Although "adapting" is the wrong word for this point, since it's really stagnation in game play that's the issue.

    Pantheon isn't going to be that game. Holy shit that PA was rough. More broken then the last one and all the previous ones. With every update they break more and more. Its unreal.

    You're right. You don't have to adapt. You can instead be left behind.

    Of course the more that choose not to adapt the slower the rate of change will be, so the distance behind will be accordingly smaller.

    However, if that is the prevailing attitude there is little basis for complaint should that rate of change approach stagnation.

    Change has already been happening. That along with stagnation are both among the most frequent complaints.

    Here on MMORPG the Status Quo and stagnation are good and change is scary.

    New MMOs are not like the MMOs from 20 years ago.

    Why does WoW keeps changing, no one knows how to play it anymore.

    My second sentence alluded to my first sentence, which you deleted. 
    Forgive me if I assumed too much, that you'd see the very obvious allusion. 

    But for real, forgive me if I jumped to a conclusion. 
    I guess it's possible that you were simply scanning fast and missed said allusion.
