and just to answer Nostromo's original question

Those who are happy now will remain happy

some of those who arent happy now will "hopefully" be happy after the patch

and some moaners who are always unhappy, always blaming everyone else other than themselves will still, remain unhappy.

Thanks for your philosophical assessment of the situation, oh great Oracle.

He forgot to add.

There will be those who are happy who are mentally ill.

retired_bmichaelsen

yea and so there will be those who are unhappy BECAUSE they are mentally ill, like White Raven.

People seem to forget something that is very basic for human behaviour here. When we are unhappy we complain and when we are happy we shut up. The majority of people that don't have any problems with the game and is enjoying playing it will not be hanging around here posting topic after topic about it while those that get problems will.

I must say I enjoy playing the game, I take it at a slow pace so I'm only in my third season. When I encounter something I don't know how to deal with or something I suspect of being a bug I take it to the forums to get a discussion about it, I don't do that with everything that I find that is working correct. I think if people started listing the good things at the same rate they list the bad the forums would probably be much more positive than negative. In the world of today internet is easilly within reach in a lot of places and those that have found problems they can't stand will probably find their way over here through the information given in the manual. Those that are happy usually never get to the troubleshooting section of the manual.

Sorry for the long post but it seems very easy for the negative voices to use what they see on the forums as the reference that the majority of people are unhappy with the game when the majority of the people playing it isn't even here.

First of all there are still lots of people online saying they do like the game, which invalidates your assumption that only complainers come online to complain.

And even if this was so, consumers still have the right to complain. And it's not unfair to suggest that their complaints are invalid, especially as 2 Beta Patches were rushed out, and SI are working round the clock to bash out another massive Patch fix.

Surely this indicates that those complaining have very real, tangible complaints. And this coming online expressing their happiness are probably misguided, because if everything was ok, why the patch madness?

After all, SI's actions speak louder than words.

ArseneFM is damaging the forum more than aiding. If I was a moderator I would IP ban him..........
Look at the posts and insults he uses. We are not responsible for his bad childhood.

All the name calling and bad mouthing isn't helping. Have to agree with those who say the game is mess,because it is.If you play it properly you will soon realise there are all sorts of bugs inconsistencies etc,its going to take one hell of a good patch to sort this one out.

I'm with you there man, he is purely detrimental. Let's hope he's gone off to gain some more browny points. Farewell Eddie Browneye.

I think SI need him more than they need a critic like me.
