Well said, Talenn. And yes, that is a VERY stupid commercial.
Really, despite all my moaning and groaning I for one am not the least bit worried that MM will ignore the AI issues. However, it would be nice to know that the AI is being given priority status for the next patch. IOW, new features and minor non-critical bugs should be put on the back burner for now. Way back.
It takes a while actually playing the game to notice how infernally stinky the AI is, as there's plenty of other fun stuff going on to distract the player from the obvious. So let's not take it for granted that Aaron is fully aware of the scope of the problem. Send e-mail!
Every time I read a new wishlist thread I'm sitting here saying "Yeah, that! Ooo and that too!" So I can only imagine what Aaron must be going through trying to think of ways to implement all this cool stuff you guys come up with.
Keep it simple for now! Fewer features, more AI! Artificial intelligence is the opposite of genuine stupidity! Let freedom ring! Er... Don't forget to e-mail him...
Sorry, had a long day.
