as soon as that was put in their post, its a attempt to stir up drama because of a lack of substantive facts in their post. I actually agree with some of what they said, but I do actually see the reasoning behind what it was done. however, since someone has already pointed out where the OP is wrong on other parts... its clear the OP is just stirring the pot as it were.

actual valid criticisms have a place... yes. after insulting us all.. is this such a complaint?
Apologies if you took offense to my original post, but if you've already identified yourself as a member of the community that instantly goes on the offensive as soon as someone dares to criticize (rightfully or wrongfully) something you enjoy then I'd probably put forward that this is an example of "If the boot fits".

You don't have to agree with anything, you can even call me a liar. That's entirely within your prerogative to do so. I do however love and cherish this game and I'd rather see it innovate and grow rather than stagnate and continue doing the same thing while people just give really rubbish excuses for it
