The past 100+ threads about the same thing have been using the "They're just frustrated!" excuse. There are plenty of us who are in the same boat and aren't taking to the forums and spamming threads about it for attention. Community finally found a funny way to put their behavior into perspective.

It's not. But it does help pass the time.

Um, yeah, that's the idea. Or we wouldn't be here, would we. Genius. Get a hug from mommy. Then get back in the basement.

dont forget that those bananas where on sale with a special price and was advertised in the flier a week ahead of time and told they would be in stock.... and now add with days past that store is still not giving any signs of fixing the problem. at that point yes people have the right to be frustrated and say it. EVERYONE deals with frustration differently.

I'm sorry if it feels like I'm targeting you but this is more of a blanket statement of the behavior plaguing the forums over the past few days non-stop. It just unfolded in your thread, unfortunately. My apologies, again.

It seems to have settled down for some people, but still remains for others. Personally not experiencing any lag today, but had a bit of a hiccup getting online, which resolved itself.

1.  This is the F2P launch, meaning most people aren't paying and the ones who do pay aren't obligated to pay to play. So you opt to open your wallet at your own risk and by 'your own risk,' it's under the assumption that there are going to be problems at the launch. This has been almost unanimous in every thread that I've seen filled with complaints. "I knew it would be bad and there would be problems, but this is unacceptable." So it's not a stretch to say that if you purchase something knowing that it would be faulty in the first place, it's not the company's fault that you purchased it and it was faulty. 2.  I do not have to defend a buggy launch to be against acting like a child. This isn't a simple case of feedback for a faulty product and to anyone who has presented their complaints in a courteous manner, this obviously doesn't apply to them. But there's a bunch of people using this situation as an excuse to insult and degrade the people at Carbine Studios to make themselves feel better and that's simply not acceptable by the standards of anyone remotely civilized.

Could it be that some of us have just been playing this game long enough to know what to expect from carbine during crisis.. after all it does take a bit of thick skin to deal with it sometimes...

Unless you actually have evidence I suggest you stop making up stuff.

1. Ask yourself why this is a F2P launch in the first place before grabbing your ass and hopping about screaming people don't pay. This happened because enough people weren't paying so this formula was brought to the game to get people to pay as opposed to letting the game die off. It wasn't brought so you'd have an excused to call players who may or may not want to pay for this game - entitled. So how you give some of that unlimited understanding and sympathy you have for the devs and lend it to the players that are, to date, unable to play, ey boy? Especially to those who bought and were subscribed to the game. 2. But you are defending them. So why even bring it up? We both know that no matter how bad it gets you'll still defend them as if you are putting up a last stand against... upset customers. It's so *cupcake*ing epic! Why? Do you think there's a reward at the end of the tunnel waiting for you? Will they decorate you for valiantly insulting upset people over the forums during a period of crisis further stirring up the shit cause you just can't learn from the past and keep your moth shut, instead you continue to poison the forums whit your attitude, trying to get any upset player to leave cause you think it's a victory for you. Well it's not, boy, it's a great loss for this game. It's most likely lost a lot of customers due to these issues. You fanboys forced this game into F2P. Maybe it's time to shut the *cupcake* up for a while before you force it into the grave. Welcome new players. Go against your nature and for once, say something nice to an upset player instead of trying to run him out of town with forks and torches.

It's just a joke, try not to cry on the way out. And holy shit, mods please, end this thread. People are way too sensitive and took this way too seriously.

Fanboys didn't make the game fail, bugs did. That and the whole "I want vanilla WoW experience again". By the by, Vanilla WoW sucked and was horrible. And, usage of "fanboy" word makes your argument void towards a lot of forum posters regardless of what game you're calling them a "fanboy" over.

the fact you decided to describe-in detail mind you- the very images you removed "to better relations" is just as insulting as the original posting of the pictures. who will have the face of an "exasperated, red-faced cyring child" when every free to play player (and potential customer) is met with such disdain and hatred, the players who have a plethora of games to choose from or the devolpers of the game they were pushed from by a rude judgemental community.

Yeah, good call. I mean who would actually want a game they enjoy playing to succeed? Sounds moronic if you ask me.

I...I don't think anyone takes pride in the problems that crop up outside of their control. I don't think that's how it works. I mean the devs have been working about 5 days solid trying to diagnose and fix all the problems that have cropped up with the launch? Would someone that doesn't have pride in what they're working on bust their humps so hard?

See, this is why metaphors and analogies are terrible on forums. One guy makes the thing and somebody else takes it and uses it to show their viewpoint and then everything just falls apart. Besides, you specified that it was you giving out the burger and I don't know you. You sure didn't claim to represent somebody who made or sold burgers professionally. If someone or something starts handing out rotten burgers and I with no sense of caution just take one and stuff it into my mouth that's my fault...but again that really doesn't apply here. It makes the implication that Wildstar launched its F2P version with the foreknowledge that the game itself was in a corrupt and unplayable state...when, to continue this awful metaphor, it would be more accurate to say that you received a burger from a restaurant you've been to before for free as part of a promotion. As you were about to eat this burger there's a power surge that causes one of the light fixtures to burst, surprising you such that you accidentally fling the burger onto the ground. It's still awkward and not entirely accurate, but it's a bit better than some random joe handing you a burger on the street for a metaphor.

Login loops, disconnects, excessive lag, and unavailable transfer errors to name a few of the ones I've experienced and seen. I mean did you just miss how they said they had to add new temporary servers in order to help address some of the issues that were uniquely happening because of the flood of players that came with F2P? They tested for what they could and it worked, but they didn't test for what they couldn't...because they couldn't. A game in testing and a game that's live are all but completely different animals. You can't TEST for what happens in a lie environment...not completely. That's why there are always problems with MMO launches. WoW has been out for almost 11 years and launched 5 expansions with a sixth on the way and each of those individual launches, and most likely the launch of their next expansion, has resulted in issues that they just couldn't have prepared for. The phrase 'no plan survives contact with the enemy' feels most pertinent not because the players are antagonizing the people behind the games, but simply because the environment of a live MMO is so vastly different from any kind of testing phase that you just can't prepare for it enough.
