This type of thing happens in forums of every kind so it’s senseless to even bring it up. Its like pissing in the wind.
I’m referencing people that have nothing constructive to say. They just want to stop in and vent real quick. “This game is trash” or just spewing off. And then when someone gives them a reasonable response, they rip on that dude. That’s all. I just put myself in the shoes of people that work their ass off on this stuff. And when I see those types of comments on every page it just rubs me the wrong way.
Trust me I realize I probably should just stay off forums. But it can be a cool place to find other people that share passion for stuff like this.

I completely hear this.
I'll admit that I've gotten to the point where I am trying to train myself just not to read (and certainly not to focus on, and never, ever to respond to any longer) all of the silly messages from the people who only ever have negativity to bring to the conversation.
Constructive criticism is great and helpful. And there is much of that here. But there's also too much, for my tastes anyway, of just plain foolish belligerence and hyperbolic complaints.
It's just a game folks. It's something we do for fun. Lighten up! (Not you- that's my reaction to the type of posts you are describing above.)
It's a great game. And this community is largely friendly, intelligent, and supportive. But I'll admit that some of the never-ending negativity that a small percentage of folks bring here, over and over and over, starts to wear at me and make this all much less enjoyable.
