Fundamentally flawed and toxic post, not to mention a complete and utter disinformation and nonsense.
OVERWHELMING majority of patrons, players and fans of ML have expressed their dissatisfaction with vehicle abandoned (and abandoned related) mechanics in competitive environments.
The ML organizers have acted accordingly and released the Tournament Mod (thanks wuff).
The general consensus is that ML organizers refrain from adding any game impacting (balance) changes because that opens a huge Pandora's box in a community where 99% of people can't balance checkbooks not to mention a 5 faction strategy game.
Bottom line. ML organizers didn't wake up one day and removed abandoned mechanic. It was overwhelmingly requested and welcomed change.
