If today’s announce on ORVR future plans doesn’t prove how Mythic is out of touch with their game, nothing else can.

P.S.
Quoting a random message from VN as a slight elaboration on what I said up here:

Seems like your adding a bunch of stuff but not fixing any of the underlying problems. Why add an RVR influence system when you already have renown ranks? Just make the renown ranks actually mean something would seem a better idea instead of adding yet another grind to your game.

Or, in F13 way of putting things:

YET ANOTHER FUCKING EXPERIENCE BAR

P.P.S.
