The story complaints are valid but are also subjective. Where one person might not enjoy the story as presented, another may enjoy it. Neither are wrong, but both are allowed to critique the points of it to their heart's content. That's what having an opinion is.

I think a lot of people lately have forgotten than critique =/= trashing. I love having debates/discussions where two opposing viewpoints can go back and forth, a lot of good ideas come out of them. What I don't like is spending time writing out a long well thought response, and then getting a reply of "Lol you're an idiot go f yourself" or more insults. That's when my sarcasm/defensive posts start.

Your complaints are pretty valid, OP. The one nitpick I'd take an opposing viewpoint on is the server ones. Just for the simple fact that we truly do not know what hardware is involved in building just one world server, let alone an entire data center. Without that knowledge we really can't say if supply shortages affecting them are truthful, or the corporate side of SE is being greedy and just not making the funds available to the team to purchase the increased in price server hardware due to the silicon shortage. Not perpetuating conspiracy theories or anything, but none of us truly know what's going on behind the scenes at SE. We just have to wait, read what they put out as responses, and see the results.

Also in regards to what was said about telling people to unsub from the content if they are unhappy. At least with my responses to various topics, and I've noticed many people take this stance as well, I've tried to post reasonable or counter-point responses and only resort to "Well then it doesn't sound like it's the game for you. If you're unhappy, why stay unhappy and keep paying for a product that doesn't satisfy you" when no suggestions or viewpoints offered seem to satiate either their anger or issues.

You can only debate so far, and can only have a discussion when at least two people are involved. It very much happens where two people are just stonewalled by the other and won't budge. (Again, not saying this is you at all. You've been pretty good and clear showing your viewpoints. Replying back and forth with someone like you OP is what I enjoy most about the forums. You actually seem to enjoy having a discussion.)
