While there are problems with the game design right now, like the oversupply and and the lack of gamemodes mentioned, it is the completely wrong perspective to say that we need to change from zaney to gritty. The tone of the game is fine right now, it's always been weird and odd. Most "behavioral problems" relate to the lack of meaningful consequence that's fundamental to videogames, in that people feel no reason to enforce consequence for others' behaviors because at the start of the next round everything will be back to normal. Making it "gritty" won't make the situation better, it'll just either make the game more dull or more frustrating, or worse: it'll do both.
