I have never tried to 'ruin' the game. Clearly, this is a difference in perspective.

What I have done is:

(1) I've brought up some serious issues with empowerment, creating a huge mess on the forums. While this was completely unintentional, some/many players seemed to feel the same way. Empowerment has been changed and is no longer required.

To me, nothing has changed, because you are still limited to the 2-3 IMM's that actively empower you if you want to be competitive at hero. To some people, perhaps this doesn't matter.

(2) I've attempted to circumvent (within the rules) the onerous and time consuming requirement to obtain edge points to customize new characters _and_ remain competitive at hero. Something, mind you, which has been a point of contention within the playerbase for a _very_ long time.

This requirement has been removed, and a new "special sauce", see Jormyr, is now being contemplated by the staff to replace the old crappy sauce that (mostly) everyone hated, but was forced to use because there was no other sauce.

I don't see this as ruining the game, but the objective constructive process of improving it by pointing out glaring flaws, cutting away the unnecessary and un-fun aspects, and replacing it with more fun alternatives.
