I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.
This and World of Tanks have the same degenerative disease. It really sucks when you get maybe one or two good matches out of ten, and then you slowly begin to realize that the very obvious problems you see are not getting fixed and the developers are doing it on purpose. The only winning move after that is not to play.
I only hop on when friends are on. Some of us have been playing more Windrose and Helldivers recently, but WT is always around.
I can't wait for their patent on the control scheme is up, which I think is in the next few years...
I guess it's natural WoT and WT would go the same route in the end.
