Hmm you go from talking about why people look back upon the past and go on to talking about problems with coding ingame... did I miss a conversation???
Now who in this thread said that the people from the past were better than the current ones? No-one said that. There may be a few that are considered better than current, however that relates to their
uniqueness.
Take myself for example, as I am a player of the "past" some may consider me better than those of the current, but PURELY in regards to catching cheats and multis. And that's because I may be considered rather unique in that area. It doesn't mean I'm better than people in everything.
Also looking upon the past is called
Reminiscing. What is the problem with people on this forum reminiscing about players over the past 4 years? There is no problem.

If you don't look towards the future or at least the present then no wonder people are as depressed ingame as they are.
You honestly think people are depressed with the game because they are looking back at the past? get a grip mate. People are most likely depressed with the game for reasons such as, personal life, the current status of the game, and the lack of inspiration for the future of the game.

Again nobody is saying the past players were unbeatable and perfect, it is only YOU saying these things. YOU are putting these words in to everyone's mouths.
If you want to look to the future of the game then get yourself over to the Suggestions section and discuss the future of the game there. If you don't want to discuss players of the past 4 years then stay out of this thread and don't read it, it is very simple.
P.S. When I said I don't expect people to say my name I didn't mean no-one to say my name. *cries*
