All i know is that i paid my money and im tired of waiting for Markus to make this game exactly like i want it to be. Come on it really cant be that difficult to program the game to each person's liking.

That of course was just a joke but that has been the message i get from all the complaining.
Now its allright to complain but i feel that sometimes we forget Markus is only one man and we expect our issues to be taken care of first. Not saying everyone does that but i think we need to remember its impossible for Markus to take care of every single thing that we dont like about the current version. If he could make it perfect im sure he would but then there would be no need for next years version and i kinda like to look forward to the next years version.
I know there are issues that people have been waiting to have fixed but im just saying the man is human oo. Theres nothing wrong with a complaint or bringing something to his attention but the "i paid money for this game and i want my complaint solved now", is in my opinion doesnt help much.

Like i said he cant predict every issue we might have with the game so couldnt we try and work around the problems if possible.
I know that we have had problems in the past and worked around them till he either fixed it in a patch or corrected in the next version. Of course not everything has been taken care of but Markus did his best and for the most part i beleive the community did their best with mods and addons and work arounds etc.

I guess i kind of miss the old days when we as a community tried to work with Markus to make the game better. Now days it seems like we do our best to make him want to say the heck with it.
The way i see it is like this, Yes there is problems with the game but if Markus doesnt fix it today i know that he is trying. We as a community want the game to be perfect but how much more do you think Markus does? I dont think hes put out 6 versions with out trying to improve the game each year.
Again im not talking about legit complaints but more the nit picking and the im never playing this game again types of attitude.
Anyways its up to each of us, we can either be patient and try working with Markus or buy another game.
This is just my opinion and im not telling you what you can or cant do but as for me i choose to be patient not just for the next version but for what some of the members of this community come up with as far as mods to improve the game.
