No probs [8D]

We want to contine improving Command so user feedback is important. Equally important is good bug reports. How many engineering hrs should we spend on cryptic user feedback?

In any case this is a learning process for all. Lets move on, a new RC should be out soon.

The issue is I have watched the devs go through this exact same exercise in their DB2000/Harpoon lives. A couple guys took it upon themselves to become the bug hunting elite. No one pushed back or did it was done too late. These guys got their enjoyment, not from playing the game, but publishing long lists of perceived bugs and shortcomings in the game. They were almost holding the game Harpoon hostage. It wrecked Harpoon as a product. They did eventually get banned from Matrix. But you still see them lurking around dark corners of the wargaming internet, contributing nothing to the advancement of naval wargaming. Still selling the same stuff. Ask yourself if that's who you want to become.

I don't want to see the devs go through that smear campaign again. And it is just my opinion, but I let it go on for a while before I say something. I think I am pretty good at profiling the type of self-important bug hunter. In my opinion, they are not welcome. Any real bug reports are, but again, a little self-restraint and maturity goes a long ways.

Ah...the old Harpoon 3 days. Never understood the back biting in those days. I thought Rag's work work on DB2000 made Harpoon a lot more playable.
Wish he would dust off a few of those scenario's and make them for Command.
