I mean.... I'm obviously on monks' side on this issue, but read the vast majority of threads on these boards (or even just this thread) wanting something fixed, and then ask yourself if you were in a dev's shoes, would you be in any big hurry to give people more tools to have something to rudely bitch about? And whenever your free time portion of a day starts, think to yourself, would you be in a hurry to think, 'boy, I really want to spend the next few hours working on coding stuff to fix something for the group of guys that just spent 12 posts talking about what a big asshole I am?'
I'm playing devil's advocate here, but sitting here with two 6 year olds complaining about the breakfast I just spent time to cook put me into the perfect mindset for this kind of post, heh. Honestly though, if we worked on the way we asked for things, and maybe even coached the people lacking the social skills required to post something and not sound like an asshole, just maybe a little more might get done. Or at the very least the devs might be a little less stressed while spending tons of their free time working to do things for us for free.
(this wasn't necessarily directed at any recent post in this thread (or /ooc...), but kind of a friendly reminder that some of our suggestions and requests might do more harm than good. This thread as a whole is full of those kinds of posts.)
(my children subconsciously apologize for getting me all ranty...)
