How about you stop your incessant complaining about that?

One of the Devs has stated they are reading the threads and *are* looking for specific complaints and specific suggestions about how to improve the AI. So it is actually in their mind.

If you want to get an improved AI, you might want to offer some constructive insights instead of *demanding* replies.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Actually there are lot of suggestions about the AI, and those suggestions ARE all good. All of those are about valid AI problems.
I can understand if DFan is pissed, the devs made like 1 comment in that huge thread.

What annoys me about DFan is:

1. His attitude: as if he has already bought and played the game, but there is a show-stopping bug which is completely ignored by the devs. Which is not the case.

2. Attitude2: as if the devs have a contractual obligation to actually react to each suggestion with indepth analysis.
Give them some time to think and collect several ideas!

3. Posting habits: in how many threads has he now reiterated that the devs seem to ignore the AI?

4. Tone: that of a child demanding attention RIGHT NOW.

I do agree that the AI issues and suggestions seem to be quite valid. But cut the devs some slack; that's all I'm saying.
Especially since they seem quite reachable, open to suggestions and willing to make changes - defintely compared to 95% of the other game devs/companies out there.

Cheers,

von Schmidt
