ORIGINAL: ZOOMIE1980 Get life, Fraggo, you desparately NEED one. you are welcome to discuss What you think can be improved or what you think that sucks. But you´r not welcome to insult people here. Consider this an official warning. More insults and you´ll find yourself on a 2 week vacation. Explain where I'm insulting anything or anyone? Letting you and your fellow Matrix staffers know that some of us think some of the development techniques you guys seem to use are appear to be less than optimum in this day and age should not be construed as insulting. If it is, well, then that's a problem in and of itself. If, for instance you take these as insults: 1) Failure to incorprate modern object-orient design and data management techniques is a problem 2) Failure to use tried and true third-party toolkits is short-sighted 3) Continuing to allow obsolete development techiniques to be used because certain key personnel have failed to stay current is a problem 4) Reluctance to try new, modern paradigms in game design is self-defeating... If comments like those are "insulting", well then you have bigger internal problems at Matrix than I realized. I realize that WitP is not going fundementally change at all. Not the way the AI does things, not the basic way it handles its data, not its basic UI. Posters here critical of these things are simply offering comments that developers and their task-masters, might think about before the next big effort launches. And as for my response to Frag, lets just say a smart-assed RTFM comment WILL be responded to IN KIND, every time. If you and your staff feel insulted by game criticisms then your staff or major support folks like him, need to be reminded that game players are equally insulted by their their condensending attitudes in response to those criticisms. Most of you guys are highly professional and face criticsm very well, but guys like the Frag character, are by nature, insulting in the way they respond to people. And it brings out the worst in some....unfortunately, like me. Are you able to comprehend my post? I sayed you´re welcome to discuss what you think can be made better. I sayed you´re not welcome to insult people. Telling somebody to "get a life" is an insult IMHO. Therefore points 1 through 4 are pointless. We allways have and will appreciate comments and discussions and we often, in fact very often have listened to our fans and customers and incoporated suggestions they made. quote:

He´s not "staff", he´s a volunteer betatester that commited more then he needed to this game and even more for jumping in here and doing community support. If it would be possible then I would suggest him for the CMOH. "RTFM". If he simply would have sayed "RTFM" then yes, I would say you´re right. But he did not.
