When dev's give in the stupid amount of whining about things most have no clue on. So not just the communities fault but also the Dev's for listening. This game hasn't been to bad for it (cept for matching making and some of the missle buffs) but other games have been really bad for listening to the unqualified.

But that's still up to the devs to listen or not so it's really not the community's fault.

Gotta love rep farming.

Vassago Rain has a higher rep than me, from doing nothing more than continuously posting the same complaint, over, and over, and over (no offense, Vassago.)

Zverofaust has a higher rep than me.

I really don't care.

I have a question. How can a community, that has no say what so ever in how the game is designed, ruin it?

By poisoning the well. By making such a stink and fuss about this or that problem, that whether that problem in and of itself would drive a new player away, the "noise" being made could drive them away before they even start.

Rep means absolutely nothing in the online world.

Can't really blame the community because some one decided to go by word of mouth instead of actually giving it a shot. Kinda falls under the whole "don't believe everything you read/hear" thing.

If this game fails it won't be because of the community, we have already given 5 million dollars worth of support. It's all up to PGI/IGP now.

I listened to the NGNG Podcast and, well, honestly, discovered I was doing exactly what Russ or Bryan or whoever stated.

I was refusing to even listen to the other side, or, at least to an extent.

I'm not 100% against 3rd Person View being added to the game. I am 100% against using it, I am 100% against having to fight against other players using 3PV, though I can see ways that would work (the WOT model where you don't see things in 3PV that you don't have LOS to in 1PV or whatever.)

I've always mentioned I'd be all for it if "done right." UAV, satellite imagery, shoulder-cam, rear-view cam, computer simulated 3D Wireframe view or the like.

However, I have to say it:

We are a bunch of raging lunatics and, well, @$$#0|3$ for the most part.

I'm sorry, but we are.

This is an incredibly toxic community. The amount of nerd rage I see posted on a daily basis - and yes, I've probably been guilty of it myself - is staggering.

I am hoping that everyone can read this, objectively, and realize that the hate needs to stop. The griefing, the insults towards others that don't agree with you on any given subject, the hate between "premades" and "lone wolves..." It all needs to stop. Or at least let up a bit.

PGI getting better at communicating things of late will hopefully help calm things down.

But I hope that each and every one of us can make whatever base effort we can to make this a better, friendlier, less argumentative, and more welcoming community.

We have no small amount of control over the success or failure of this franchise, and no small amount of responsibility to try and make this the best community we can make it. Discussing differences of opinion is fine; let's all try to be more constructive about. Please?

Thank you for reading. I'll leave this soap box right here for the next guy

Great post. Ive been guilty of much of what you speak of and yes it does get ugly and it gets really bad at times. But kinda goes with the territory of a highly competitive FPS game. But yes you are 100% correct. Hell even tanks is more civil and thats saying something.
All in all, with all ******** aside PGI has provided me with a game ive been waiting a long time for so I for one commend them on making it happen, now make it work.
