Low TTK = harder FPS is something DEVELOPERS say.

What you say might be true, so long as the game doesn't support any kind of deep thinking.

Modern FPS developers are all about chasing the filthy lucre, and will happily whoooore any values they have for a .5% boost to market share. The problem is that the only way to appeal to the masses is to appeal to the masses, which leads straight to the lowest common denominator. The way they do this is by pushing your monkeybuttons - think cheeseburgers, pawrn, and status tokens($).

To stretch my lame example, the modern FPSs you guys want us to accept are cheeseburger-pawrn, served up for mindless consumption. CCP is in the process of cooking up for you range-fed antibiotic-free mind-beef, served with organic wisdom-veggies and a side of backbone-Hakarl. Unfortunately your inner-city kid fastfood-gimped FPS souls are telling you that the feast being laid out in front of you is just weird and gross and wrong.

The question is, are you growing weary of standing in line with the rest of the herd waiting to pay for your next McFPS?

CCP has proven it doesnt need to cater to your majorities to be successful. CCP will do what it wants Balance is hogwash. CCP operates with the Perfect Imbalance.

CCP tried to do the whole EA thing and the EVE community buried them alive for it. CCP does things differently than "developers chasing the filthy lucre." Why would they make it free to play if they only cared about your money?
