I'd rather have support for the older Opera versions than have all these newly implemented 'features' we keep getting. Besides FA (or loot assistant as it's called now), I haven't really seen much that I have utilized more than a handful of times...
And I agree, Chrome is just awful at running TW. However, once I started seeing the P2W features come peaking it's head into the servers, it was a tell-tale sign that the original business model needed some help, so the cash-cow (PP spending) had to be upgraded, which would literally be made into "you can pay your way to a larger account". I think this helped drive away a lot of the dinosaurs who played and gave them an influx of people who wanted to pay their way to massive accounts, something I didn't agree with when it came out, and still don't agree with now.
It is a business, I understand that, but what are you willing to give up in order to make that all mighty dollar? With the forced issue of using an obsolete Opera browser (face it, the newest versions are about as helpful as IE or FireFox), Inno is going to have to integrate even more shortcuts into their game just to keep older veterans around who are so used to things like bookmark faking/t-trains/keyboard shortcuts/etc. I just don't see why they are so unwilling to support versions of a browser that so many people use to best maximize personal time because at the end of the day, that's why I'm not happy. I could do just about anything I want to do in-game on another browser, it's just my older Opera browser allowed me to do it MUCH more quickly, saving me a lot of time and hassle, but also keeping me a paying customer. Now, I won't bother with it because my time is limited and I have no desire to spend it doing things that used to take a much shorter time with my old Opera browser. And in the end, it's another lost customer as well.
