Those of you who think Hasbro's doing this to hack us off and get rid of the fandom, remember what they have done for us and think that it outweighs the bad. Contrast the creators of 24, who began deliberately disappointing us after Season 4 (maybe the writers changed).

In 24, Mandy is fan favorite villain who makes unexpected appearances, but only appears in 7 episodes (which, counting Nightmare Moon's appearances, is now less than Luna, and as of this episode MLP will have 65 episodes while 24 has 192). Her last appearance is at the end of Season 4. She was intended to appear in Season 7, and again in Season 8, but they decided against it both times to avoid pleasing the fans.

Also in Season 5, at the very beginning (SPOILER ALERT) one of our favorite characters and one of the most honorable, David Palmer, is assassinated. So we have to go through the entire second half without him. Tony, another favorite character, is killed midway as well, but if only he had stayed dead. Because when Tony returns in Season 7, he returns as a villain. (though this isn't confirmed until near the end). That's even worse than permanently killing him.

So, anything Hasbro's done to aggravate you pales in comparison to what the writers of 24 (or at least Seasons 5-8) did. Hasbro has done stuff specifically for us, and most of the bad stuff (like killing Derpy) wasn't their fault. And btw I don't hate 24 even after the whole Tony thing.
