Within only 48 hours of the 2.1 release, most of the forums is just choc-a-block with people complaining about how 2.1 has ruined their game, its become too hard and they cant make millions of credits by long range smuggling and that their favourite ship has been nerfed to death blah blah blah etc. etc.
Im fed up of people posting negative criticism of what has happened and generally making these forums like the world of tanks forums. COME ON! The Elite community is one of the greatest gaming communities I have been privileged to be a part of, and I know that we are better than this! These threads continually complaining about new game mechanics or how things have become harder make the FDev team feel like their efforts are wasted, and generally make the forums a worse place to be.
Now, Im not saying 2.1 is perfect, it has got plenty of problems in it, but when we criticise something, at least make it positive criticism. Make a few suggestions as to what would be better- I know some people do, but it would be good if everyone made an effort to actually try and contribute a useful suggestion for something they feel could be improved upon. Be polite- it only ruins someones day when people pooh pooh someones hard work- I know this from personal experience, but when someone criticises what I have done, then gives a suggestion on how to improve it, it lets me know what people think can be made better.
Someone else made a thread how this has become the fall of the forums, to be honest they are correct, unless people stop to think about how they say something before they say it. But think about how hard FD worked in order to get this update out, and be considerate to them when posting about things you personally dont like.
