You're both overexaggerating a bit too much -.- Why out of all the things that got changed/delayed, everyone's fussing about this smaller bit of feature as to choosing which part of the map you wanna color with your faction's color?
Because freedom of choice is a very important element of modern MMOs and computer games in general, freedom of choice of various things, in this case where you want to fight, what battle, with whom and how.
Yes but there are still some bigger things that got delayed as opposed to that. Like for example the 50vs50 player battles that you mentoined in the other thread. I do believe that's bigger than this even as it's an actual gamechanger.
