It's not strange that SP has been more played than MP. I think this applies to most games in general, even if they are focused on the multiplayer.
Indeed. The reason for us being the Vast minority is that most of the casual gamers in this world dont feel like they have to join a community or compete in a game, but use it to relax, and spend some time. Its mainly us, the more-than-casual gamer that likes the competition.
Please dont blame Relic for a normal thing in our world!
Also, the people working on AA would NEVER EVER IN A LIFETIME have been working on balance. They would be way overpaid for that. They would have been used to develop a new game, or make DLC´s for a different Relic game.
The world revolves around money, not you Alexzandvar!
