The Devs aren't your personal friends and valid criticism isn't "harrassment"

[Kaurhz]

I'm just going to quote Albert Mehrabian here:

it’s not what you say it’s the way that you say it.

Whether they are valid criticisms or not is one matter. Whether those criticisms are adequately communicated without them turning abrasive is another situation entirely. For me personally, it is not a matter of defending anyone or anything but simply put calling people lazy or incompetent, or stating that they should be fired is not conducive to a productive conversation or debate.

EDIT: I sympathize, I really do for people that don't get what they want, but peoples' issues do not preclude basic human decency when referring to an individual. If it has gotten as bad wherein the developer has had to go on record about it then I think it's a telling sign that some people just aren't simply expressing some critique of the game itself.

Personally, if I were a new player looking to get into the game, I would say had I seen the forum, I would be dissuaded more by how people express themselves on here than the state of the game itself. Which is an issue in and of itself.
