Many want to play what the developers came up with, not someone who wanted to create a so-called "improvement."
So, if TE had been made by Horn, not the "developers," would you play it instead of SoD?
First, they created The Restoration of Erathia, then Armageddon's Blade, then SoD, and then they dropped you-know-what :)
They added Conflux, a simple example, seems like a dumb faction that doesn't fit the game's logic, with a bunch of overpowered stuff, but people accepted it, came up with a bunch of rules on how to fix it, and play it. So how are you any better than the TE guys? Some sewed similar (broken, imbalanced) aspects into the game, others wrote a bunch of text, sit and bother with who can't do what. Why the hell can't you upgrade birds, psychos, and butterflies, why the hell is the starting hero random? That was the "developers'" idea :smile51:
