This is truly a daily whine, because I feel this way every damn day...
Every post or valid point or argument on this forum is 100% guaranteed to be met with at least as many, if not more posts containing some form of: "Well I like that feature, so there's nothing wrong with it/I have a workaround/haven't experienced that, so i'ts not a real issue" as actual, useful, contributing posts to the discussion.
I fully understand the nature of forums, hell I've been moderating and posting on forums since I was 14, but really....no wonder the Devs treat the community like a volatile sack of rabid cats..it's a wonder they listen to anything we have to say, ever. We come off as the most bipolar gaming community I've ever encountered, and we can't even agree to disagree half the time.
It's just highly irritating when people don't realize they're shooting themselves in the foot by hampering the progress of fixing things in this game...if it isn't fixed, hits Steam, gets poor reviews, new players fail to stay, PGI suffers, we all suffer.
I for one would like to see this game last a long time and continue to improve, not stagnate and die because the community is too stubborn to allow change in order to grow the player base and keep the game progressing in a healthy fashion. PGI/IGP are at fault for their parts in the whole deal, but it's becoming more and more clear daily that the community itself for this game is completely self-destructive, and has virtually no clue what kinds of things have to happen in order for the game to survive and continue to grow, and in many cases, simply don't care.
It's just sad.
while your while is actually a valid post, and maybe shouldn't really be here at all but in the general section, i'll say this and then stay quiet as this is a whine thread and not a debating one, many people that throw in what seems like flipant replies do have reasons other than automatic gain say.
I personal think that CW has failed ( though i'm playing it more than ever ) because PGI haven't got the ability to make it work, ( they take months over maps that most people with map tools can build in one), You can look at the old PGI company names and see what they made, and anyone in or out the business can see that they struggle to do anything bigger than arena fights.
Do I think that solaris or e-sport or Valves steam will bring in more rubes and get their money long term.
No I don't and making a long winded post full of reasons is clearly not going to change PGI's mind or make others change their views if they already think its a good thing.
So a your opinion sucks post is just as valid as a long winded reason (it also has no points in it to argue about, which is another reason they are not liked)as long as the person behind that post is prepared to say ok I admit it i was wrong its worked, as much as they might gloat and say I told you so.
Yourself and others might not like the short sharp your wrong post, that looks rather harsh and insulting, but its registering a no vote for something they don't like, and numbers do count as its how people get into government, and projects given the go ahead
