I miss the whole world map leveling as well. But really, low TI is the GH GY, Payon 4, Louyang/Agriope Leech of our current time.
It's definitely a place to MEET PEOPLE and form a community. I met a lot of new friends there and removing TIs will just harm the game more in that social aspect.
TI? Social? Are you serious? The most social I've seen in TI is "winging" "I'm done" and "120 left".
But honestly, make up your mind. Are you honestly saying that the TI "community feel" is suffering because of the terrible map, lack of a mini map, and spread out spawn? Or is it because the GMs hindered your EZ mode leveling? Oh God! It's going to take 45 minutes to get your 400 kills! Jeez! What are you going to do?
Here's a solution. I'll be opening the second round of The Great Leveling Game soon. Try it and see how leveling without Eden gears, bounty boards and TI is. After that, feel free to complain when you can't get 400 kills in under half an hour.
