Big bang was justified / Big bang was not justified

I think the most accurate way to look at them is that while Post BB has really good moments every now and then (like the introduction of PvP for instance) it also suffers from a lot more things that are not so good. (like the removal of said PvP)

Where as Pre BB remained relatively consistent during its run but had less developed systems in some places. (like less of a bonus for having multiple characters)
