I feel really sorry for you and can only imagine the kind of people you must be playing with.  Because I have NEVER felt the player base ever required such a massive dumbing-down of the game development in order to reach out to them.  Maybe your experience has been different.  But if that's the case, you have my sympathy.</blockquote>
