Pubs are terrible compared to Wildcard mode …

I'm glad that you are enjoying it, and I'm glad it's getting traction with other players.

It isn't just that I don't personally like it. My larger concern is that all the aspects of Wildcard that water down the game will probably find their way into the main game over time. It's happened this way before. There's no reason why it shouldn't happen that way again. It's how we got evo shields. It's how we got mobile respawn beacons and mobile jump towers. It's how we got weapon arsenals. This list goes on. Most of these things, imo, had a detrimental effect on the game over the long term. In the short term they made kids feel like they were getting something new, and new things are fun. At least for a while. But really, it's like giving a hungry kid cotton candy and captain crunch. Sure does taste good. For about five minutes. A half hour latter he barfs it all up because what tastes good isn't always what's good for you. That's what's happening to this game right now. And Wildcard, I'm sorry to say, is the biggest step yet in the wrong direction.
