If by “mediocrity” you mean me actually enjoying the game and not coming to the forums to scream and cry about how life has wronged me somehow? Also, I have never once said it is the only option. Also, your data sample size comes from a nation with some of the worst internet in the civilized world, of course there’s less private servers there; most people don’t have access to the speeds to host. If you look at the rest of the world as a whole instead, you’ll see the opposite is in effect.
Show me where here I said private servers are the only way.
If you have such a problem with the developers and how they run their game that you’ve spread this rampage across three threads simultaneously right now, maybe you should take a night or a year off the forums to calm down. Maybe if you find this mediocre, you should go seek out something else to satisfy you.
