MysticPuma....I suppose I differ only in that I have *always* been disillusioned with this game, it doesn't carry the bitterness of recent realisation or disappointment with comms. They have always been piss-poor, with mis-placed levity and silly, patronising white-washes and half-truths. And very little concrete improvement in key areas (for me).

To my mind the pre-release was a tangled botch, the intended game and creative silence on certain features combined to make things even more wretched, and the thing they gave birth to was then even worse than could have been imagined...so subsequent hope for improvement always looked unlikely.

That said, homing in on one person will just give the mods a reason to wield the whack-a-mole thread-hammer once again, and dilute the underlying message. But I realise it's also just a 'sod it, I don't care anymore' response - which is fair enough.

And it really is a sad state of affairs if the devs/BS use the general growing discontent as a justification for not replying.

I'm with Pudfark - it's all so far beyond farce now that you wonder how creative the next balls-up will be. Sad to say, we're usually not disappointed. If anywhere, that's where the admiration lies.
