OP, if you want something to change, best do it yourself. It's not like you couldn't lobby for it on IRC, learn how to make maps and ask for their implementation on IRC, or suggest a new structure like the a map evaluating council. There are probably more people who would like to see the same changes as you. Ask them to PM you or join you on IRC and you can get some work done. If you have proven your engagement, the devs will give you fancy titles, server access and whatnot.
Some of the current item balancers, map editors and modelers used to be whiny bitches like you, but started to help out. The result is the mod we have as it is now, and it improved a lot since it came out.
Edit: @Sir_Alec, the prick who downvoted this post: It is meaningless to just point at problems and moan without doing anything yourself. Check out Suggestions Corner/item workshop: You will see that I have absolutely 0 skill in modeling, but even a talentless useless sucker like me can try to change cRPG for the better by looking for help, building up a team and just getting some work done. Hopefully, I will pick up the technical skill step for step while working together with experienced people.
