tearing you a new
@#%@#%@.
I mean I imagine some forum admin with their mocha java and their old IBM hand-me-down company terminal clicking through posts and doing their quota or whatever. They probably hardly care. Hell, they probably even laugh at half theses posts.
But seriously, what's is like for the developers when so much of the community has pitchforks at your door and are screaming at you? Bots running rampant. Famous gaming personalities completely roasting the game causing mini-exoduses due to poor public opinion.
Do you guys have round table meetings where some exec. screams at you? Is it hectic at the offices with all this chaos going on? Or is it just a floor or two in some megaplex with cubical partitions and you're average Sally and Steve quietly typing and clicking away at their endless list of coding assignments for the day that will probably take them 3 hours after the work day ends to finish due to low funding?
I mean, at this point, regardless of what you do to fix known issues or bots or whatever people are constantly crucifying you about, isn't it a little too late? The public interest in this game has dropped quite a lot and from this point on you'd really have to get some positive word-of-mouth out there to revitalize your content.
Not to mention your funders aren't going to be very liberal with you on future content considering this less-than-stellar launch. I'd say you got your work cut out for you guys. Hell, I like the game a lot... but I won't lie... it's got a bad reputation.
But you know what really kinda bugs me the most? Bugs. One thing ES was known for since Morrowind was bugs, bugs, bugs. Hell, Beth and bugs were synonymous. I would've thought that since a different company coded this or whatever people say, that this problem would've been drastically eliminated. And yet not only do we see the same kinda bugs, but I can't recall another mmo that's been this littered with them like this at launch.
