Beautifully illustrates how you have missed my point.
Lets say a client walks into your restaurant tomorrow, orders a drink and it takes a little longer than normal to arrive at their table because staff are having to socially distance, everything is a bit weird. The client then goes on and on about what a terrible service it is. It's not a great service, no, but is it reasonable to not accept a delay because, as everyone knows, the world isn't working as it should at the moment?
Frankly, If I owned the restaurant you work in and you threw the drink over the client, I'd give you a rise and kick them out. They're being unreasonable at a time when we all have to just cool our jets a bit.
I'm not saying that FDEV only release perfect updates that always go swimmingly and any patch required always fixes all the problems. They are of course a nightmare for things like this and maybe this time last year, coming on here griping about the paint job you spent a couple of quid on because it is borked was ok and the right thing to do. But right now, expecting a 100% perfect service is something only a fool does. That there are delays in fixing that should come as no surprise. It was right a year ago to slag them off for it, hopefully in the not too distant future it will be ok again but in my opinion, right now just makes you look like a spoilt brat who has no consideration for anyone else at all.
Where I work and literally in all the restaurants in the country, the client always pays at the end of the service, frontier has already been paid in full and more, it has been reflected in their accounts, but in many cases they are not delivering what they promise ( in my case it was a "alive" galaxy and in constant evolution for about 10 years), it is simple to understand, more than spoiled children who complain WITH REASON because they paid for cosmetics, I see a lot of adult children, in plan ,behaving well , flattering / praising as waiting for some candy or toy.
Adults usually argue for the bad and for the good, and if something is wrong it is said, I think that no one here lives in a fantasy childrens world where everything is colorful and good, holly God.
Tell me, how do you let them know that their work is lousy right now, saying thanks for breaking the game? that's stupid.
If you want to praise them you are free to do it, you have been doing it for years and that is why you have the game so empty that you have after 6 years, while you see how they dedicate time to other things and jobs, new licenses ... others and I are also free to complain, because in their day they promised many things and some of us do not forget them or see them progress,and we gave support buying stupid things that I would never buy in no other videogame just to support them believing in a plan, but it seems that they don't have it or it changes constantly, and lengthening it over time.
And it is funny, because in part I am defending the oldest players and that they do not remove the blindfold to see that they have been deceived while the account of this company has not stopped growing, and that is a fact.
