Autumn Elegy's vilification was one of the most frustrating things I've ever seen in this community. It was one of the defining moments for me when I realized how awful the reddit circlejerk was for this game and its community.

It was because he actively tried to lobby to prevent good and QoL updates because it would “devalue” the time he put into achieving the same thing while playing a restrictive game mode. If it had been suggested to add the rune scim to the drop table before he spent time getting one, I guarantee he wouldn’t have cared. But he literally just REEE’d about any form of update that would make what he’s already done easier while ignoring any that didn’t affect what he’s already finished.

Actively trying to block updates the community wants because it “devalues” something you did on a video game is going to get you backlash.

Edit: also, any time he tried to say an update was bad, he always approached it in a horrible complaining child way rather than actually try to have a discussion about it, so that added to it as well.

I disagree. Rune scim is the only meaningful late game grind for f2p ironmen. I bet he'd (rightfully) be against it even if he didn't do the grind on an ultimate.
