StoneFish said: Atarius is providing an excellent example of behavior to be avoided. They began by feeling something was missing from a post about perseverance in the face of adversity and criticism plus an encouraging hopeful message to keep working at the tasks and goal before the team. They didn't have anything productive to add or contribute. They just didn't like hope or optimism, they wanted to harm the positive and encouraging nature of others. A snide and petty shout that is intended to drag down and ridicule others. This example supports the post's point to perfection, but in a way to highlight the need for perspective. Irregardless of the money given to the project the average user has near zero insight into the complexity and challenges faced by the people doing all of the work. The average user/pledge member can mostly be ignored. They are too often not giving their opinion to assist/help/contribute but rather to appease some self-centered emotional wounds. They are emotionally compromised by a combination of powerlessness and anonymous disconnect. This type of example is very common on the Internet today, and should further the argument that the VR staff should ignore the majority of negative comments found in the forums and elsewhere. Again a larger monetary gate for some servers would be justified by many users so as to help avoid certain personalities. I want to see this game complete and to see it become a huge success, I see no logical reason to be role-playing the part of a petulant child throwing tantrums, it doesn't help anyone, not even the ones throwing.
Armchair phycologist, nice.
"irregardless" your endless optimism for something that is tanking hard is equally powerlessness and disconnect. You're furthering good money after bad at this point. But please continue.
StoneFish said: I love you man, I love almost everyone. I don't have to respect your instincts to fart on a crowded elevator and then act like you contributed a positive interaction with others. You didn't do anything of value, you just wanted to irritate other people. Correct? Well you succeeded, and you can now go away proud and content. But you don't, you stay and linger, like the fart. So, another example of why your instincts and opinions can be valued less than the average, your instincts stink. Your best actions going forward all include self reflection and learning. We don't know each other, but I hope you get help.
Condescension? nice, please continue.
