OK. Of course he is gonna listen. He didn't listen for the last 5 years but now he is gonna listen or be "influenced" like you said. Doing the same things over and over and expecting a different outcome. I'll let you find the word that describes this behaviour.
The only thing you are doing is making this thread toxic. And i don't care if the dev is a liar toxic full of bad habits person. I just don't care but you guys seems to do like you wanna be friends or something. Yea i forgot about the rule of attraction like attracts like.
Being here for the last 5 years doesnt give you the right to look down on people. I even think it's the contrary. You are unhappy with the current situation fine move on. the door is open. And you can't figure this out on your own for the last 5 years ? hehe
You are tired of justifying your opinion. What about of we are tired of reading toxic people?
As for " the Dev doesn't need "righteously" outraged defenders " I DEFEND WHOEVER I WANT TO AND HOWEVER I WANT TO.
And shaming people because they have different opinions on the subject shows how "openminded" you guys are.
Last answer so don't bother
I never attempt to shame people, nor do I look down on anyone. That's just not true. You may have confused robust answers with these unwelcome attributes. We all have different opinions here & make them heard whether or not you care to consider them "toxic." It's the Dev's creation I used to like. Pirates don't expect or want him as a friend. If you choose to take something a certain way, that's entirely up to you. When it comes to the Dev listening or being influenced, I'm not insane, as you so tactfully suggest, (who's toxic again?), because anything can change radically at any time, didn't you know that? You'll find that out one day. You carry on defending AND SHOUTING ABOUT IT. Sing his praises, if you want & see if it gets you anywhere faster than the likes of me. Your logic would suggest no-one should post comments critical of the Dev, or that they should be limited, by number?, by scope?, by level of toxicity as determined by you?
So what is the forum for? Speculation, ideas, thoughts, discussion, forecasts, they all happen. What you'll rarely see is any participation by L&P but that's fair enough. It does make things slightly pointless, yet we do it anyway. Close to insanity, no, "it's only a game."
I won't be using the exit door, unless at a time of my choosing, (or the mods, I suppose) but thanks for pointing it out, as I might not have realised it was there. As they say "after you".
