I am not sure how many of you have noticed the reason given for the closure of most of the threads has been because they have devolved into the forum version of a sibling fight without offering any real insight or constructive feedback. I urge users of these forums to please try and respond responsibly and with details and supporting evidence, not just conjecture and assumption. The “nuh uh you’re wrong and I am right” mentality simply does little to convey anything useful or help. Just my two cents, do with them what you will but please do so like a adult heh.
Please remain civil towards one another :)
It sounds better when hearing this from a regular forum visitor
.
Hearing it from a dev which doesn’t give any information about how they react on the ongoing rage only makes me mad…

I think this is an excellent reminder ShadowPuppet, so I will make sure people see it.
I realize that many people have a emotional investment into a game that they purchased and intended to possibly play for many years to come, it is just sad to see what happens at times when people have differing opinions (which they are entitled to) but fail to be able to discuss things in a rational manner. The dev response from Chris Whiteside largely did not address I don’t think many players concerns but it is at least a response with some information in regards to the “future” of where they are heading with the game (from the post it seems it will be addressed in more detail after the holiday in the states). For my part I simply still enjoy the game, even though I am a bit on the fence about how some of these changes have been implemented, I am disheartened however when I log on and see so much negativity expressed with out there being much substance to it. This is not to say of course that people should not express their opinions, just be mindful in how it is done. Thanks for the response and have a great day and a happy holiday if you are in the states.
I am always civil (I think…)
And it would sure be nicer on any forum if people simply made it a point to be reasonable, watch their language, think before they post, and maybe, just maybe – try to stay polite.
Also, calling everyone expressing criticism a “whiner” is degrading – if you really feel that way, please at least make the effort of trying to find out if the person you are talking to is notorious for complaining about various things, or if you might just be talking to someone who rarely voices their concerns. Please.
