Those buildings were the mark of a veteran player (at least until the hacks allowed a few enterprising players to acquire them).

Nevertheless, reintroducing them, and I suspect at highly inflated prices, devalues my experience, much like changing the equipment dynamic.

Must be like when cell phones first came out...only a few enterprising people had them and it was a status symbol, and now look...every 12 year old and octogenarian has one. We don't even get to see the top 45 units in the other person's inventory to look at for envy, or to validate any shenanigans.

Status has no meaning anymore here, and accomplishments are devalued.

Make room for Modern War 5.0. GTFO old timers...there's new players that they need to get in here and exploit.

Just sad.
The value of your accomplishments is whatever you decide it is. What others do, or don't do, has no impact on it - save for that which you assign to it in your own mind.

Everyone plays their own way, and every way is equally valid or invalid because it's a game and all that matters is playing.

Or something like that, man.
