I care.
Certainly not because I am a good player, but because events makes me want to play the game, try out new stuff. It's a reason for me to want to improve myself. It inspires and it makes more new people play the game, meaning I get a better match when in automatch. It keeps the game fresh without adding new content.
Honestly, to the people who don't care, I just don't think you see the benefits. Sure, there is excessive whining on the boards, but not caring doesn't show some kind of soulful maturity, just a lack of vision.
IMHO of course.
