I completely understand your viewpoint Tom,
BUT if that is your *absolute* opinion about Battlemaster,
then it might be appropriate with some name changes.

Lets consider the name "Battlemaster" first.

If that name is purely an advertizement,
to draw in players,
then I guess the name is okay,
and none of my or anyones business to question.

But, if it is a name to represent the game,
and an incentive to focus on battles,
then we have a problem,
because everyone WILL then
try to win every battle with any means possible,
like micromanaging,
because the name clearly suggests that
you should strive to master every battle.


The next, not as important thing,
on my mind, is the term "game".

Most games are about winning,
tho there are several things called games
without a definite 'win' element.
(First thing I can think of is "The Sims")

In light of this,
Wouldnt the term "simulation" or "experience"
or something like that, be more fitting?

MMOR Simulation.

or

MMOR Experience.

*Thanks* for a great experience btw!
BM has been a fun and valuable experience in my life I think!
