Asherons Call: QotD - Why, After All This Time, Do You Still Play?

To follow on the heels of the Top 10 list and some complaints in the forums about neglect of the AC1 player base; not to mention the volume of complaining we all do, I'd like to know why do you still play?

It's said you'll tear down the thing you love the most. Usually because you want it to be better. I'll assume that's why the devs have to wear teflon whenever vising the boards.

But really, why DO you STILL play?
