The game has stepped sideways quite a bit. Sometimes one step forward, two steps back. Hardly ever forward. When they think they've fixed something, they manage to screw up something else. In the .53 patch they thought they'd put a damper on hacking. 2 days after the patch there are still losers doing it. The glitches from a year ago are still there. I could go on, but overall, it's pretty disappointing. Alpha or not.
