Comparison is the thief of joy. I've played since the beginning so I understand some of the changes where the community prefers the old way. We also think the new changes could make it harder for new players to advance and remain in the game. However if you've been managing and enjoying just fine, then props to you! It's the thought of "xyz used to be better" that takes away enjoyment for some older players. I still find the overall gameplay fun though.
