Ignorance may be part of it, but I also think the forum vastly overestimates how much the rest of the player base would care about some of these things.
My brother’s a pretty casual player, and he doesn’t really care that certain characters aren’t in the tokens, or that OBW still explodes crits in mid air, or that some heros don’t have their color priority match their abilities. He sees the anniversary announcement and says, “cool,” not, “It’s the 3rd in my timezone, where’s my RAWR!?”
