And whining troublemakers should never be able to get patches out faster. They'll whine even louder if the patch comes out too fast and doesn't "solve" their pet "issue".
The only person i'd consider a trouble maker is someone talking about a game who didn't pay money for it. If someone paid they have as much right to say their peace. Someone has as much right to talk about things that frustrate them as you do to come in and start calling them "troublemakers". That being said yes there are always going to be people who will complain high and low about anything and everything. Knowing ara for a few years now he's not one of those people.
We all get frustrated and vent on the boards at times. We all sometimes might even be snarky to one another at times. But most people will always apologize and move on.
He just wants the game to be better. We've both put a few weeks into playing the GC in PBEM. Since the game has launched the forums have done a good job of making it out to be that the soviets can get into berlin in 1943. I'm not bringing up that debate now since it still rages. But i'm simply illustrating the midset of an axis player. Now as ara is playing the axis i can understand the frustration when you lose one of your top generals and he simply disappears. Doesn't say he's executed but he's gone.
So not only do you come into the game having this thought in the back of your head that you have to play perfectly if you want any chance of winning but then a game bug eats one of your leaders. I can empathise with that. I think anyone who really sits and thinks it through can see where ara is coming from.
You being a long time witp as well term you should know how frustrating it can be.

You owned the launch version of witp right? I mean it was a night and day difference between witp and witp:ae. The final patch to original witp was still a far way better then launch day witp. Even UV and witp saw a ton of improvements. That stuff only comes about when "trouble makers" push for things.
I hope i didn't come across as a jerk because i'm trying to be respectful. If not sorry we can hug it out later. <3
