So this is more an excuse to rage, than a serious topic?
I would say "well".
Why? It's way easier doing something from 0 than taking something that was done by someone, modified by another one and them applying the modifications yourself.
They have a lot to do, yes, they do. They're also being ambitious enough to move the whole game from one engine to other.
Now, blaming the toxivity of the community on the company... Well, you better quit online games all together, the "anonymity" gives people the impression of impunity or minimal loss.
Also, good they're doing their duty, I don't remember G1 doing it better than LO. It means they're giving attetion to the game or atleast faking it, instead of milking it till it is impossible to milk it (literally, killing the golden goose instead of nurturing it).
But, well. Is all a point of view. Some people will always choose to see the bad, cause that's what they want to see... (proof is, you did diminish what they did, even though is their obligation).
