Thread: Respect To the Masters
Honestly Stryker,
I have a good deal of respect for you, even though we don't agree on things. If you ain't happy with the game and how it's working . . . it's time to leave. And I'll never say a bad thing about you or your opinions.

Glad we agree! There's so many better positive ways to express our opinions
" Thunderheart,
In regards to the following quote:
" . . .because the Droid Engineers were very clear in telling me they wanted Droid Engineering and Droid Handling as two seperate professions."
Where did this come from? Due to the enormous difficulty and complexity of your job (Lord knows, no sane person would envy your task), I've always given you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to interpreting and communicating the concerns of the various professions. And I wish to do so in this case as well. But you MUSTprovide some basis for this statement. Post a link where the DE community discussed the notion of a DH class in a favorable way, or cut-and-paste some private communications (edited, of course, to keep the source anonymous), or something that can explain this statement. It doesn't even have to be a GOOD explanation, just something that could even be REMOTELY interpreted as "DEs want a DH class". Do so, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt again, and accept that this was an unfortunate miscommunication/misinterpretation. If not, I'm sorry to say, your credibility will drop to less than zero in my eyes (perhaps other eyesas well, but I only speak for myself) " - Bumbles, 1/19/04
Ahh... this might be interpreted as "whining" by some. Heck, even pronouncing that Thunderheart's credibility may "drop to less than zero" might even border on calling someone a liar or a ne'er do well. I couldn't with clean conscience dismiss you or your posts here as trolling on the basis of a single post, so I "gave you the benefit of the doubt" and continued on.
Hmmm! Very interesting... Found a post suggesting that we all should stop our assault on the DH idea and wait and see how the DH profession might pan out (which even Runesaber pretty much dismissed after we all mobilized against it)... found some other detritus of insubstantial quality... found a couple productive posts, that's good... hmm... an aspiring DE in November? Now that certainly lends authority to your posts... 
All in all, you speak of truly productive posts as if you're well versed in their ways, yet I don't see much evidence of you making said exalted efforts. Perhaps you're an expert witness... "lurker" if you will, merely laying judgement on others fromyour position on high?
The proof is in the pudding, dude. Yeah, a lot of us may put a lot of energy into complaining but you'll also find one heck of a lot of positive energy being put into this profession by those same people, either through productive suggestions, bug reports, constructive critiques, actual testing, inter-server discussions, brainstorming, and overall communication.
You might want to put your money where your mouth is.
It's a truism of forums. Happy people don't post
(Clarification: by "happy" I mean "happy with whatever satisfaction is afforded to them by the subject of said forum".)
I'm glad the others have a place to vent though, as long as it keeps them playing the game. Too few DEs in the universe.

My friend,
You don't know when I actually started reading these boards( hint: it's been about 9 months). You know when I actually registered with this scheme where "you must be a subscriber to discuss our game".
"you tend to get jaded" . . .
Get jaded all you want. Live in the past and lick all your old wounds you want. Nobody who means anything really wants to hear it -- it's time to move forward.
If you feel insulted by by remarks, I would suggest you re-evaluate your own numerous comments and motivations for playing this game.
Sorry for the edit guys - kept giving me the uber-paragraph - my biggest pet peeve.

Virtanis,
Thank you for quoting my 1/19/04 post in it's entirety!
If you recall that day, you'll also remember that was the day TH made the infamous "DE's want a DH class" [paraphrasing here] comment. In my post though, I stated my problem with TH and offered a solution. It took a few weeks, but he did explain it and we have no problems now.
Can you say the same thing?
Why are people so proud of saying "I've been playing since Beta 1?"
