Due to the fact that the vast majority of the things PA has been doing to the game lately has been hurting my experience of this game, I have mostly been negative towards the devs.

Thankfully. I can be postitve about this one.  Thanks for the fall colors!  Little details like this in an appropriate fashion and season really bring this game to life and make it worthwhile.  It's like I'm in a living world.

It's fun to be in a living world, not a dead one.

So, keep doing these little seasonal things, PA.  It means a lot!
