No person in this forum made them release the game in such a state in the first place and many reasonable people have lost their patience because it still isn't fixed a year and a half after release. Most reasonable people are only reasonable up until a point.

I think people are well aware that there are many problems and I think that is why some people are starting to "throw beer cans" as you put it. But you must realise that people bought into this game mainly because they where told about the depth and realism of the game etc. What I don't think they expected though was for it to have so many bugs after all this time.

No, you have (had) reasonable people who just got fed up, like most reasonable people do when they feel like they are been taken for a ride. People are only reasonable up until to a point because they are not blessed with the patience of a saint. Everyone has a point they get to before they get sick and fed up.

Yes you are right.
