So people can whine even before the game is out? Sheesh. That's a perfectly good reason not to have a forum up until the game's good and ready.

Says the man that whines about patches even before the pacthes are out.

I do not whine. While I express the fact that I am annoyed or displeased, I do not request that anything be done about it. This is for several reasons: Firstly, because I know you won't actually do it without at least a good portion of the forum whining loudly and shrilly about the matter. Secondly, because there is nothing I actually expect to see, or want to be, done. You will find me most satisfied when you announce that whatever patch you are doing is the Last one. It's not whining when you don't want anything done at all.

The clams have not been changed, neither has the castling or the luck scales, as I pointed out to you in another thread changes are not made just because the general level of complaints reach a certain pitch, changes are made because they appear to make sense or add to the game in some way. I also find it a little odd that you complain about no new content in the Last patch, as you did in another thread, and then goes on to complain about there being patches at all. If you are satisfied with the game as it is why complain about the lack of content in patches?

Isnt that a perfectly good reason not to have a forum period? Everything has its Pros and Cons.

As for your comment that you dont whine "Firstly, because I know you won't actually do it without at least a good portion of the forum whining loudly and shrilly about the matter." I feel that quite the oppossite is true. Most of the changes that got alot of whining got NO action, while others quietly discussed got quick attention. I think its more decided by what the devs agree with, and maybe a touch of training-the-Users-how-to-ask also.

In fact, you posting that things are done by loud whining is not only wrong in my opinion, but it could be purposely destructive. I know that many of my Posts made me sound like I was working for the company even before I was working for the company, but Posts you make sometimes make me seriously wonder if you arent working for an oppossing company.
