Yeah...I don’t mean to be a buzzkill but really, why do these threads still get made?
I’m genuinely curious, who does this benefit anymore?
I forgot about this and was glad to see the reminder. I scrape Gatherer for my playgroup's card database and like to have that done before the prerelease for each set.
Ah, I remember the days of commenting on Gatherer. I was particularly active during Theros; you'll see a lot of my comments on Theros cards. Good times...

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

It's a traditional time of the season to make fun of Wizards for failing at a fundamental level to maintain the most useful part of their site.
You know, just like the traditional complaining about MTGO clients whenever another digital product gets announced. It's bringing the community together.

It still amazes me that WOTC is so inept at the internet.

I think a lot of companies started moving away from comment management due to the cruel nature of many of those mediums.
It's not easy work to keep a comment system clean of spam and general asshattery.
I'd like to see them pull in something like Disqus or another 3rd party comment manager so that they don't have to deal with the headache but we could still comment and updoot stuff.

Gathere has always been pretty sober though, never seen flaming, trolling or spam before.

Eh, they took it down before the internet took a nosedive. All it would take is one person typing something about Donald Trump and you'd see ample reason for no comments at all. But if that was really their reason, why take down the 1-5 star ratings too? Even if they could be vulnerable to vote manipulation- who cares?

For what it's worth, there are some signs WotC is addressing this issue.
I was browsing through their Glassdoor reviews the other day and from those I gathered:
* A november 2017 review from the software department talked about a "recent" layoff of 30+ people.
* Someone talked about multiple rounds of layoffs "this year" (2017).
* Someone complained about WotC "choosing to hire new instead of retraining old".
* Someone complained about the new CEO bringing in Microsoft people. (Note: Chris Cocks was a Microsoft VP before becoming WotC CEO.)
In before Microsoft joke. So, hopefully, things will improve.
I don't mean just this specifically, I mean most WOTC digital products are..not well made as a whole.
*looks at my DND group member who programmed his own 5th edition character creator because the WOTC official one was trash.*
