> I think that the immortals should just quit and tell these whining bastards to screw off. I have never seen a more ungracious, impolite, non-thankful bunch. For every post thanking the imms I've seen at least 100 bitching. Criticism can be helpful, whining destroys the game. I play and play- never making it above 30 but I LOVE it. It's free and addictive and lets my imagination wander and soar. So, if you want to bitch, at least be polite. And thankful. Or go play somewhere else.
I appriciate the post, but to be honest (even though I don't say it a lot) I (and I'm fairly sure the rest of the immstaff...but don't want to speak for anyone else) know that the people who bitch, and whine and complain represent a very loud few. I have faith that the majority of people who play CF are the often spoken of 'silent majority' and don't really bitch or praise...which is cool. While from time to time I get discouraged, I don't think that a group representing a small portion of the CF populace is going to cause me to say 'to hell with it'...it feels like that at times, but *shrug* I'd like to think I'm a bit stronger than that.
One last thing I'll say, don't come down to hard on those who bitch and whine and moan...a lot of the times they post without thinking, because they're frustrated (some are just asses though, and you can generally spot them for what they are) and get thier frustration out via the forum...which, while annoying a likely to draw flames, *shrug* there are worse ways to deal with shit, I suppose.
