Consider yourself lucky

[Leafcore]

I'm so tired of this phrase. If you really gave a crap you wouldn't be posting nonsense on a forum, you'd be out saving the world or something. So ride your high horse off into the sunset and away from preaching pseudo philosophical idiocy on a gaming forum.

In counselling psychology, or anywhere actually, we call this perspective. You compare your problems with other real problems so that it helps you stop making a big deal out of things. It's a real coping technique that many people use to get out of depression and falling into irrational thought processes. It's anything but an "pseudo philosophical idiocy". If you would apply it yourself, you wouldn't be so "bothered" by someone else's statement or even this launch. Or you can just keep complaining, being unhappy, and wondering why this launch, or perhaps other areas in your life, sucks... or be content.

If that statement really bothers you, I've heard many people also called it luxury complaints. Either way, it means the same thing; it actually has nothing to do with first world or third world countries.

That's funny, everyone else just calls it pretentious.

(Just kidding. sorry, couldn't resist. )

To the OP:

I was disappointed by the log in issues, but it happens, I didn't have the best experience, but I know a lot of people had worse ones. So I empathize with people who are frustrated and just need to vent. I just ignore them. Yes there are starving children in Africa who we could save, right now, by pulling two quarters out of our pockets. But we're allowed to care about small things. We're allowed to feel crappy about the crappy things in our lives even if there are crappier things happening somewhere else.

I hope the dev team doesn't take it personally, but they're humans. Skin can only be so thick. So I'm not trying to excuse the more vitriolic of the haters, but I hope they take comfort in the fact that so many people are driven into a rage that they can't play this awesome game they made.
