Completely fair (and potentially useful, when done civilly and coherently, with screenshots as evidence) to criticize what you don’t like about the game, and to demand/ask/hope that it can or will be fixed. That, after all, is why forums and bug reports are there.

Completely unfair to rip the development team with allegations that they are not full-time or dedicated or alert to criticisms or compromised by conflicting obligations or new ownership. That is nothing more than toxic, uninformed speculation that accomplishes nothing constructive.

Yes, also true that the paeans to the game without specific references don’t add to the work of making the game better. Nothing wrong with praise and appreciation, and I’m confident the hard-working and dedicated devs appreciate that. As others have pointed out, it’s more likely for users to post about problems or ask questions, than to bother to write about how cool it is to play. Fair enough, as with any consumer product.

Bottom line, the personal attacks, the feckless attempts to claim superior knowledge, the vague complaints without documentation, can’t be given any weight. Honestly, some of the rambling sounds more like Russian trolls. Better to ignore the noise, and focus on the many threads where users are having honest discussions of likes and dislikes and questions and problems and bugs and patches and work-arounds and ideas. All without attacking one another.
