From what I've seen, a good number of main series fans resent Frontier and its players because it's been taking in more main series monsters while giving none of its exclusive monsters in return despite the crossover ban being lifted years ago (and the game's fans' previous outrage over Hypnocatrice and Lavasioth appearing in the main series has done nothing to ease this bitterness), which comes off as a double standard to them (though even if they did release the spinoff's monsters into the main series, purist fans would bitch about it anyways, so there's really no pleasing anybody). That could just be the developers not wanting another outrage from either side, but who knows for sure?
