Of course! I'm merely pointing that the fact that it doesn't bother some people is the reason that those same people feel comfortable asking for additional options. Because they don't see the "broken piece" as a big issue (for them), they don't subscribe to the notion that options shouldn't be added until those things are fixed.

Why do you classify it as being stressed out and, of all words, arguing?

I think you're reading more into the words than I intended. For example, PSU's stated that "The problem is that I think might be unwise to continue introducing new elements to the game when there are so many other A.I. issues that clearly need fixing first." I would considering that "arguing against introducing new elements." I'm not saying PSU's being argumentative or negative. That's just one way of using the word "arguing." I could have just as easily used the phrase "making a case" or something similar.
I used "stressed out" because I often see people on the forums who appear genuinely angry or, well, stressed out that Game A, Game B, or Game C doesn't have Feature X, or that Feature Y is broken. My personality isn't like that, and I'm not saying others shouldn't be that way if that's their personality. I'm just saying, my personality is such that even if my game has a problem, I tend to go with the flow and not get all worked up about it. I felt like "stressed out" was a pretty good fit there. But, really, I'm just trying to point out how different people have different perceptions of problems.

Are you saying everytime someone has a different opinion on a topic they're 'arguing' against it? I don't see anyone arguing here, I see people giving good discussion and feedback both pro & con for adding another option. If that's arguing then one of us has a grave misunderstanding of the english language.

Well, yes, they are arguing for or against a certain option. No grave misunderstanding. Just different uses of the word:
transitive verb
1 : to give evidence of
: INDICATE <the facts
argue his innocence>
2 : to consider the pros and cons of
: DISCUSS <
argue an issue>
3 : to prove or try to prove by giving reasons
: MAINTAIN <asking for a chance to
argue his case>
4 : to persuade by giving reasons
: INDUCE <couldn't
argue her out of going>
I'm using #2.
