I just don't. It's a fantastic game as it stands. Sure, it's hard to become "vetted in" or really be super competitive. Especially for new players, but it can be done. Welverin is a prime example. Never even heard of the guy until what, two years ago? if that. Played a bunch of conjurers right in a row and earned his wings. That's what it's all about.
Maybe the game will slowly die (it has been steady for some time now), but I'd rather it die off than change in such a way that it is no longer the CF I love to play.
