@Crystal the Glaceon Firstly thanks for being one of the few people to reply in a civil manner in a thread that would ALWAYS end up as a trainwreck.
Here's my 2 cents. Your argument regarding GW being a paid product and therefore, there should have been better service. Had GW been something a la Netflix, where there is a continuous payment, then I'd wholeheartedly agree without a shadow of a doubt. Period. Back then, I got it for what it was, not what it could be. Every update that I got, it was a bonus. Emunand. Multirom. Exfat support. Frankly, I never expected it to be supported for half as long as it has been.
When someone brought up the early access argument, you seem to shoot it down instantly, deeming it invalid for whatever reason. The flaw in this logic is that GW and the various other alternative CFWs we have now came at different times. Those who got GW back when it was the only choice paid to enjoy it before those who didn't. If GW and other CFW had emerged at the same time, then that's a different story. There is a reason why there is not a single one of the supposed GW fanboys who push for GW when newbies come to find out about 3DS "hacking". More often than not, A9LH+Luma would be exactly what these newbies are looking for and we would recommend Plailect's guide. No hidden agendas, no stupid faction nonsense. If someone has a GW and wants to use it with Luma, we point them to that other thread.
On the point of whether it is worth, I do not think that your evaluation should be any more or less valid than another person's. You don't find it worth it? That's perfectly fine. Someone else does? Nothing wrong with that. I mean, we've seen this being used as an argument by iSheep and Fandroids all the time and I am sure we both are aware that it also never ends well. I personally would not think it is worth it to get a GW now. Even if you want cheats. But that is based on my wants and needs. I cannot apply the same template on others. I know people who spend hundreds on in-app purchases on a regular basis which blows my mind but hey, who am I to judge?
I think I may have previously mentioned this but I may as well state it again for visibility. The thread was meant to discuss the supposed upcoming update. I believe many would appreciate if we didn't have people coming in solely to diss at others. They know what the topic is about and yet they go out of their way to post a snarky remark. Just to be clear, do note that this is not targetted at you but I thought I'd just put it in the same post while I am typing it. I would have gone to a political rally if I wanted any of that toxicity.
