Corporate Greed and Dumbing down

I have almost 200 hours in this game, I've played 3 as a kid and to see the drastic decline of the launch is just sad. There's so much hope for this game, but E.A. straight up ignores the fan base in favor of more cosmetics, currencies, and now an upgraded version of the tutorial island that you PAY FOR A LIMITED TIME TICKET in the game.

It's just E.A. as a whole, they will not recover, it is E.A. I have nothing but hope and want for this game to be better. But oh my lord it's so hard to enjoy reading all the "In Discussion" tab with 90% being **bleep** that was already in the older titles or features that would guarantee success in the long run. And now firing a good majority of their original team. This is a pump and dump more scheme than a passion project. Built for making money on the free-to-play bandwagon.

The only good thing about this game are the mechanics, they're smoother, they flow a lot nicer and feel amazing overall. I feel like it's the default defense for the game. But it's all gonna be gone if they decide it's not worth the risk and shut the servers down entirely. It was never made to be an offline game, or one with replayability 20 years down the line in mind like the others. It wasn't made to last.
