I still think the 800 lb gorilla in the room is WoW and all the kiss-Blizzard's-ass fanboi's they bring with them. What happened with McQuaid was horrid, but nowhere near as horrid as watching rabid Blizzard fanboi's rushing to the defense of their favorite company. This is the main cause of the BS state that the genre is currently in, at least in my opinion.
I agree, they and the 100 clones that tried to emulate wow, except 98% more shitty, is the reason we dont have nice things. And its not like you can blame them. They all saw that 10 million subs and wanted a piece of it, except with an inferior product. Its not because of Brad and Vanguard, lol. Ever since its inception WoW has done nothing more than turn mmorpg into a lobby game it is today. Hell I would even take a vanilla wow over what its turned into these days, even though it felt sterile to me back then.
