The issue that people have with the tileset isn't undone by the ability to change it yourself, and that is a copout of an excuse. As Princess Jade already mentioned, the seasonal tileset is what all new players (and old players that haven't logged on for a while) will see as soon as they log on; it's their first point of contact and it reflects the server at current. Can you imagine bizarro Classic actually leaving a good first impression on anyone? I can't, because it is vile.

Just because you may discover the ability to change it later on does not mean that it is at an acceptable standard of quality to actually be on the server either. The ability to change tilesets on the actual server is pretty debatable in itself, but if we're going to have seasonal tilesets then the development staff should actually put effort into it and make them look nice. It isn't hard to make something look nicer than that tileset, but then again it's not even necessary, nor do the default tilesets look out of place in a Spring season.

Yeah you're right, it would probably make the levels look so much better. Doubt it would go down well with the parroting nostalgia 'elitists' though.. or the rest of the server quality.
