This is a general response to the handful of people who have said; "Grow a thicker skin" or "toughen up!".

For a lot of people, this is part of growing a thicker skin. Well the message boards are often more toxic (I have other, less board friendly words for it) than the in-game community; it's also the place you can go and realize you aren't alone in your issue. And that helps.

It worries me, though, that a surprisingly large chunk of people on the boards react to the slightest complaint or concern, even if it's something incredibly reasonable, with such vile rebuttal. If a piece of the game isn't quite working, and you say that it isn't, it's not half a page into the thread before the "Quit the game then!". And it usually just gets worse from there.

The vast majority of people who are voicing a complaint or concern are doing it because they genuinely enjoy, even love, the game they're playing and they only want to see it improve. Shouting those people down not only chases away the long term potential for the game, but you're also hurting the game itself. A complacent community is one with a stale product.

Be optimistic, but don't mistake optimism for zealotry. Allow people to have an opinion that differs from yours. If you truly think it's a horrendous idea? Then the developers likely will too. You don't need to try and pillory the person for simply stating what they think. You can explain a differing opinion without having to try and make the other person smaller, or tear them down.

TLDR: We all love the game. Be like, cool to one another, you know?
