I agree with you, and note that Markus has stated recently that he primarily sims his games and only plays out the most important ones. I suspect that simmers may be wondering what all this PBP nonsense is all about.
I don't know about the rest of you who play out your games, but I'm starting to feel a bit like a second-class OOTP citizen.
