I think the EMC community is fantastic, always has been and I hope it always will be. We're just going through a stage during which some things change, generally for the better, and if not, they will be removed such as the future updates. Call it the "puberty of EMC" if you will excuse my comparision; some things are changing (shop system, PVP, population) and this is all for the best. We might not like it at first, however eventually we will begin to get used to the features, love them and look back and say: Why was I debating AGAINST this!?" :O We're just not used to the idea yet.
