That marks you as an internet troll David.

That's just silly. There would be a ban on whining if I were in charge of this board.

Good thing you aren't.

If the whiners would be gone, the counterwhiners would grow weary of themselves, as they'd actually had to discuss the game and come to the conclusion, they'd need to whine, too. At this point the forum self-desintegrates into a misty cloud of logic.

Thanks Luthier, I await the next update about CoD when you have the time.

It's a risk I'd be willing to take.

In any case, that hasn't happened on the RoF board.

LOL, I don't think you saw the RoF board(s) when the game was first released.
This is all part of the development cycle; we may have been spoilt by weekly updates, but we've also been spoilt by false suggestions from the team. Did we expect too much? No, we didn't. Luthier has said himself that the game was in a poor state on release, but silence from the team leads to a lot of (false) assumptions.
Just grit your teeth and bare with it That's all you can do.
Personally, the whingeing is just a product of the development process. I think it's clear why many are unhappy, and considering that many spent their money on false pretences, it is quite acceptable.

Such authoritarian stances make no sense to me. TBH, it's usually just to cover up the fact that the game is in a terrible state. I think it's nice to see that Luthier can stand it, and yes-he is thick skinned enough to 'soldier' through it, and doesn't need internet fan-bois to hold his hand (this isn't directed at anyone BTW)

Apparently they learned their lesson. Whining posts are quickly locked now.

I wouldn't ban bug reports. I'd ban the whining about the lack of hand-holding by the devs. I'd ban the "I told you so" posts. I'd ban the repeated "why didn't you know about this problem" posts. I'd encourage bug reports.
