Thoughts on the new Letter from the Producer? (May 20)

[Kailok]

I think it's hilarious how people..sorry, trolls, continue to say they "don't care about this game", but they're obviously keeping tabs on it. If I don't feel hopeful for a game, then I don't keep tabs on it. If I don't play a game anymore, I don't keep tabs on it. If I think a game is a "festering pile of crap", I'll stop playing, and then NOT keep tabs on it. You obviously care about the game, so stop acting like you don't, otherwise you wouldn't be bothered by thinking it is vague.

I, however, think this was the best LftP thus far. Also, I honestly think MOST of this stuff will be out before summer. He put "UNTIL SUMMER 2011" in bold twice for emphasis for a reason. What else have they been doing these last 5 months? These are changes that should already be done by now. I'm not saying they're going slow, just saying this is just the fruits of what we've been waiting for all along. The reason they are saying "looking into" most things is probably because they don't want to make anything definite before they release the patch notes, otherwise people go "OMG BUT YOU SAID THIIIIIIIIIS".

All that being said, I'm not going to get overly excited until I see some patch notes and know what he really meant, or until a Community Rep replies to confirm the timing.

This is partially true. Some of the trolls may not care about the game at all and just like to ruffle feathers. The best way to handle them is to talk to them in calm, relaxing tones and treat them like adults. I hear this drives trolls crazy! If you can't do that, though, the next best thing is to simply ignore them.
