You know William, it would be easier to take your complaints seriously if you stopped trying to represent every quibble you come up with as being "a majority of players", "many players" et al.I play England regularly (probably more games than you have) and do not in any way feel it is boring and/or unimportant. She does not lack for diplomatic options and is the best Espionage power in the game. The race decked Galleons give her great defense and her Sea Captains give her excellent odds of picking up both a lot of piracy goodies and exploration VPs.
When playing England, go into it with a wide open mind and look for those VPs across the whole game. It's a great experience.
