Well I've been here for a short time and I've only complained once, and only about one thing: their decision to stop communications because of the vocal minority who bash the developers. This happens in every company and in every industry. You cannot simply cut communications with an entire customer base because of what a fraction of those customers have done.
This is not the way a professional should conduct business. So now you can state as fact that there are more complaints since that news broke, and direct them to my post. |

Giving importance to the whiners, by modifying your behavior according to their attitude, is the worst way to react for MG. A clever company would
1) Ignore the trolls (they are in every forum) 2) improve quality and frequency of their communication, in order to nurture and promote an healthy base of customers. I'm very sorry to explain the ABC of business and life. |

![]() How can an "ignore" attitude fail? Ignore means that you don't care, not the other way round. |

They ignored the constant trolling and the forum was a disaster area.

And how would you qualify the state of the forum now, keeping in mind what is the purpuse of a forum... |

For everyone. The quality has not changed much. That's part of the reason they're no longer posting updates.

Insuber is also right on...Trolls are not 1C's problem...Trolls are our problem to deal with. And that is why we have Moderators. A Forum is an information and discussion tool. If you cut info, what would we talk about ? Well, look at the recent posts, and the answer is there....
By not keeping up with true and constant updates about COD's progress makes it look like if 1C was in trouble...or angry at his custommers for not being patient and understanding enough....and that generates more bad than good within the community...This is how it works in all business.... |

Only thing I know for sure is that no mater what 1C does..
There will be someone that is not happy with it.. Thus there will allways be whining.. Just human nature! With that said the 'health' of a product can be judged based on the 'percentage of users' whining.. Which is not to be confused with the 'percentage' of whining! In that as we have seen in this forum, the 'majority' of 'whining' is/was produced by a very select few (6 or so). That is to say 'most' of the users here understand what it takes to make a game, and they realise that most games these days take months if not years to flush out bugs. With that said.. I think CoD is right inline with most modern games But a new commer to this forum would not leave with that impression based on the 'percentage' of whining posts in this forum.. Unless said new commer took the time to notice that the 'majority' of whins are repeated over and over by a selet few.

poets, writers, movie makers, artists/ illustrators, actors, set designers, etc, etc, etc - not bean counting number crunchers, but as real people, is the way to go in receiving good response. For anyone out there... you go and put up your pride and joy and offer that for critiscism (of the such seen here) and how would you feel? (I can tell you right now how you would feel ![]()
