I also agree with Owain, to some extent it also comes down to the perspective of each individual gamer or the guild he is in also. You make what's best of a bad situation, I've noticed many of the guilds that I communicate with or watch are taking the lack luster games of this period and making the best of it. That is to say, the game they've chosen to play (regardless of how bad it truely is) and become the best in it holding said titles and honors as long as possible, or continuing to evolve and change as a guild learning new tactics to better take advantage of the game.

KAAOS for instance has done this with Planetside and a few other games since these gaming dark ages (thanks to EQ and WOW)began. They are very respected and feared in that game and have quit and gone back several times thus far, each time retaking what they lost with enhanced tactics and new ways of playing.

So in closing while the games are mediocre that doesn't mean KGB has to be.
