[Sombre]

I'm not complaining about this thread. If people want to talk about this stuff they're welcome of course. The only time it's irritating is when it comes up in threads where it probably shouldn't (such as in many mod threads) or it is coupled with this whole "someone else should do this" "my job is to provide the ideas" attitude. Having been at this forum a couple of years, I've gotten a little tired of people posting about things they want in the game and how someone should add them, then not listening when they are told how easy it would be for them to add them, or contribute something useful.

Obviously when I say 'productive' I mean I contribute something to this community, for fun, which lengthens the lifespan of the game and leads to more people having fun with it. It's not work, I don't need thanks and I don't expect people to do it if they don't find it fun. But I will continue to roll my eyes at people who consistently talk big and do nothing, while asking others to do what they want.

The 99 bad ideas have already caused me to stop listening. That's the whole point. I started out trying to help people realise their ideas with mod commands, play options and so on, but after a certain amount of time you learn to recognise when people are just jabbering away about nothing. That's worth criticising, frankly. If everyone did it we would barely have a community.
