I have had zero problems with the system short of pre patch which was unforgiving (but I was still content). Perhaps your relationship with consumerism is an issue. I read an interview discussing the nature of player requests versus the game the creators want to make. So far it fits what I want to play and the game they want to make. If it doesn't, perhaps reconsider buying very popular games as soon as they hit the top ten. I do not buy a new COD game because I know I won't be happy, furthermore the developer (infinity ward?) has no need to appease me, I am not buying and they don't care because they are trying to make a game they want. I don't want it. Easy solution, we go separate ways, I don't play COD and I also don't complain when it doesn't fit my bill. Forgive my terse nature, I read stuff like this all the time on forums and it it more about the consumer than the artist.
