Well I think we at a new low .

1.0 had problems from day one. To believe that "if only Tanaka had listened to us and changed the game it would have been saved" is completely misreading the history of the game. They even had to scrap the game engine to create 2.0. A Realm Reborn was the response.

I didn't say that, though... and I feel you are twisting my words. It wasn't just performance issues, there were a lot of design issues that could've been addressed to alleviate the pain points, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm certain that if SE ever decides to create a new MMORPG, they'll remember what was written here and, well, ignore all the "complaints" that started with complaint about lazy developers, lazy writers, corrupt company CEOs, and the need for the current Producer to Step Down and Let Somone Else Take Over.

Primarily because reading through all of the muck to find that one shiny stone isn't worth it.

I think this is your main issue with my argument. I never labeled them lazy, corrupt or that Yoshi-P needs to step down. I'm merely offering my feedback - in a civilized manner - about the design philosophy I don't agree with.

I'm not content with the 4 months patch cycle, to give an example, so I come to the forum to voice my concern. But you seem to have taken the opposite extreme and try to dismiss anyone trying to provide constructive criticism, no matter how valid it might be.

I'm guessing you are tired of seeing people fling trash at the developers of the game you care about, and that's understandable, but we have to be mindful of putting everyone in the same bag. I care about the game too, same as you.
