And those people remind me of the person happily sawing away the branch of the tree they're sitting on.
What PartWelsh sneeringly called legacy players are the backbone of this game. They're the people keeping servers alive so that drop in/out players have servers to play on.
They're the people who create a community around these games, the people who happily contribute battlefield moments to various social media, the people who have made the battlefield series what it is...or was.
By choosing to drive these people away, Dice have seriously crippled their own game, and you have to wonder who will be buying anything else from Dice after this.
- @TAW_Rinko if the people i'm referring to in the industry have gotten hold of battlefield, they don't care. they would rather burn it to the ground then let us have what we want

Driving paying customers away might not be something EA consider a good thing.
While sometimes change is good, it drastically failed with 2042, just goes to show the grass isn't always greener. They went way too far with 2042 and it flopped spectacularly. Just goes to show that BF does not need to change the core features of what makes it Battlefield.
If EA/Dice or whoever doesnt learn from the pooshow that is 2042, then it truly is done for. To be honest, with the direction its taking I think it already is.
