^^^ But the game has not changed for the good.
I've been here almost as long, and I feel the opposite for the most case.
-Overall, match making is a bit more friendly. Tier 8 right now is the only one that seems a bit worse, and even then you're only bottom tier against 5 tier 9's and 3 tier 10's. Not too big of a hurdle.
-The HD tanks and maps are indeed nice.
-The game is easier and easier to play without a premium account thanks to the massive amount of personal reserves I seem to just get tossed at me.
-I'm not being one-shot by arty as much.
Yes, I want more maps, yes they took out some that I really enjoyed, yes some of the newer premium tanks are simply too good, and yes arty is still a pain in the butt at all times, but overall I'm having more fun than in times past.
Wargaming added the only nice mods (two layer carousel, hit logs, battle assistant artillery aim, etc) so no one needs to run any mods anymore, they're working on maps, more tanks are being added, Italy is on the way, and the full blown re-do in 1.0 looks promising. Good times currently and in the future is what I'm seeing.
