If you actually want a change, maybe you should act like adults and think of a new way to complain or state then problems you think DB have!
That's your counter-argument? "Act like adults"? I think my post was quite articulate, and I don't think you could tell me with a straight face that I made up any of the points I brought up.
I also think that everyone with even a bit of common sense can read through the mindless insults and discern if a complaint is valid or not. "OMFGG FUCKIN DEVS FUK U I NEED RANDOM DUNGEONS && BETTER SUPPORT!!! FUKK!!" is just as much as a valid complaint as "I would like random dungeon support". Unpolite? Yes, sure. Innappropiate too. But also logically sound and valid, so let's not be intentionally obtuse.
One of the most prominent and skilled community plugin programmer and routine coder, kane49, who I had the pleasure to talk to sometimes on IRC when he was still around, left the community because, I quote, he was "tired of putting in more developing time than the developers". I think his actual words were a bit harsher, even. And believe me, he knew Demonbuddy pretty well. He was the maker of some the most useful tools for DB, which were so good that some are still used to this day, and even decompiled by users to make them work with new versions. Maybe the name "AGB" rings some bells?
DB devs "say" (they don't, but that's how it is) that we must rely on the community, and yet they do nothing to maintain a community of good developers.
They obviously don't do it through developing. Features that would be INCREDIBLY USEFUL to newbies AND all users, and also INCREDIBLY EASY to code, such as a graphical interface for selecting DB launch commands (bnet account, password, no-flash) etc. are not there. Instead, you have to rely on modifying the properties of a shortcut and typing a lot of stuff, and make sure it's formatted correctly. Many people either don't know how to do it, or find it very annoying and at the very least, confusing. And so they have to rely on the community to make good launchers and reloggers to avoid doing all that. And so, there's 10-page threads taking space on the main forum debating which is the best relogger, which WE'RE supposed to go through to figure out what's best for us, or keep using shitty shortcuts even if you're multiboxing. ALL OF THAT could've been avoided by adding stuff that can LITERALLY be coded and tested in 10 minutes, 15 minutes TOPS. But no, we're so entitled.
And they don't do it by moderating the forums either so that any kind of reasonable discussion can flow. Hell, I would settle with a subforum in which newbies can ask questions without being insulted, laughed at, or told to "go get a refund and buy another bot" (you can read this very thread and you'll find many friendly, super-useful replies like that).
Apparently all of this is, plus all the things I said in my other pust, is just asking too much for my money, and I should be forever thankful every time DB is updated (every 3-4 weeks, most of which are just bugfixes, 1 week if the bug is crippling). Well, uh, no.
Let me say again that I'm not asking for something out of this world and modesty aside, I think I'm being quite reasonable in my complaints. So once again, feel free to rage~
