I just find some of the mechanics described to SOUND annoying, no clue how they'll actually work until we get a functioning build that actually lets us touch all the new shit.
I also think this entire thing is one of those cases where the dev is making something that THEY want while simultaneously ignoring any and all backlash/criticism from the player base probably under the guise of "they don't know what they're talking about" and "it's MY game, so I don't care about YOUR opinion." When in reality he very much should care about our opinions because we're the ones playing it, rating it, talking about it, and funding it and if we don't like what we see/play, then we either stop doing any of that or start rating/talking about it negatively instead.
I think if he actually was more open and communicative, re-ran the vote (but properly split the yes/no votes), and admitted his mistakes. Then we'd probably be in a different spot right now. But instead he decided to double triple quadruple down, so... here we are. Abandoning/Waiting for a game that will never be what it once was :l
