I went with "better than it was". I agree the community atmosphere is virtually the same no matter when you look at, be it 5 years ago or 5 days. You will always have the nay-sayers, wannabes, elitists, general jerks and trade trolls, etc who work to forge rifts and discontent among the masses. To each their own opinion. I just tend to ignore theirs and move along. The game's much more enjoyable that way.
