I've been playing multiplayer games since the 1970's. Nothing ever works right the first time they patch it- except in the rare and happy case. It's always the same, too. I've seen the complaints bandied about today on the forum for every MMO I ever played. I've seen it on the mailing lists for MUDs and MUSH games. I've seen it on the snail-mail digest of play-by-mail games. I've heard people say it verbally in my physical presence about a game we played which didn't have any player-to-player communication because it was 1979.

New content breaks things. Developers will always be accused of not listening. Game design staff will always be told they should fix bugs before releasing new content, but at the same time will be told they're idiots for delaying new content.

Some users will never be happy. They cannot be pleased; it is an impossibility to do so. A good game company will simply listen to them, nod their heads and smile, and carry on.

Now, the rest of us who understand that stuff happens will chuckle, pick up the mouse and adapt to the circumstances and play for as long as the game continues to deliver entertaiment commensurate with its price.

My plan: The day they release the "veteran" reward title years from now, I'm going to stand in the Slippery Slopes Cantina with no clothes on and /flex while changing titles from the founder one to the veteran one every 10 seconds.

You didn't know the game required a subscription to play it when you bought it?

It was right on the box, mate.

You have completely missed the point. This is like investing to start up a business and then getting told that your contribution doesn't actually mean **** unless you continue to pay.
