for all the mindless, crack-monkey, jibber-jabber that plagues this board - posted by seemingly half-interesting and very intelligent people, i still wonder - do you people, collectively think, that funcom, really gives a rats ass about what you think?
so many bright and creative people on this board - wasting your breath about this and that. geezus, are any of you programmers? do you have half a brain? why isn't anyone trying to make a new game. something like that. the way it sounds, you're all just eq addicts who've moved over to something different. i'm sure there's a legion of you who did just that. but then again, there's this other group of seemingly non-hostile, forward thinking people who just blow me away because i can't believe the denizens of you arent' programming and making some hot new title or something like that. don't wait for swg to make your dreams come true. you're just giving away more cash to someone who doesn't care what you want. think about it.
and crap, most of all, there's so much more to life than a game dammit. if you don't like what's happening with ao, why do you still play? i repeat, if you don't like what's happening with ao, why do you still play? i repeat, if you don't like what's happening with ao, why do you still play? 'because, there's nothing better to play'. that's what i always hear. you people obviously come from another dimension because in case you live under a floor mat in the cellar, you know damn well that there's tons of good stuff out there.
my argument is *for* funcom. you don't like what's going on here? cancel your account. or *better yet*, get something of your own going. my god - so much precious time lost with all these creative minds - all you can do is cry and whine because funcom doesn't listen to you. geezus people - pick up that c++ book and start doing some weekend benders programming a game that you like. sure it's hard and it's a daunting task. but *shame* on you for complaining about something which you give money to, have little control over, and still play nonetheless.
i'm trying to make a positive here. it just blows my mind how many uber-smart people roam this board and yet, you people don't even take sides with a game company who's just trying to make a buck with a cool idea.
random rant.
i'll shut up now.
