Finally, for the Extreme Assault discussion not on my watch, for the Toolbar Icon size discussion on my watch, but the former especially. The point regarding the foul play with EFOW is often made like it would have taken ages and a grand rebellion to remedy the new rule as an optional one, yet the team at the time seems to have responded really quickly, given the fact there needs to be a M/S release timetable to be agreed as well:

Two months and two days from 1.03 to 1.04. Again, not on my watch, but still: not too bad for creating a new version, testing it thoroughly, and then having it put to public by the game company."
Yes, companies and people do work faster and better when they screw something up to the point where all would have walked away and a potential cash cow would have dried up.
And, before I get the argument that it is not a cash cow, I know they are not all going to retire on what they make from the Campaign Series.
My point is, (because some people do not understand analogies), that all revenue streams benefit a company. They paid money for the rights to own the game and needed to recoup that prior to really making any "profit". When the tinkerers almost brought the game down and fractured "the base" I know (for a fact) that there was a concern over losing money. Hell, it still may be losing money, I dunno.
As for your other comments. Don't assume we all know what is "in" and what is not in. Don't really try and use the excuse "it will effect some scenarios and we did not want to remove it".
Well, you put in bridge building and effected every scenario that had an engineer in it? You put in extreme assault and effected ever scenario (especially those not designed for it).
You are going to put in the LOS rules from ME into the other games?
I'm just sayin' that some people believe their babies are beautiful and can do nothing wrong. I'm on the outside and see that the baby has some flaws.
