These threads have become so annoying, I think its fair enough to say that we should stop beating the dead horse, it's been dead for a week now and there is barely anything left of it.
Plus, I haven't heard one complaint from a casual person on the forums....Maybe because they don't take the game to a serious degree as we do? Maybe they'll adjust to the update and CASUALLY continue to play.
It seems to be that forum goers forget what the term "casual" means.
Please take a look at the definition given by the dictionary.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/casual
It clearly states: "without commitment"; "without serious intention"; and most importantly "seeming or tending to be indifferent; apathetic; unconcered".
With that being said, the casual player will not care about what happens with the update, they'll just go with the flow. So please, I know you care deeply for this game and want others to share that passion, but you can't fret over the casual players because by definition, they simply do not care.
