That's a long time for any MMO to have the same mechanics designer. I wouldn't be surprised if he moved on as the result of burnout, which occurs to the devs that are passionate about what they do when the vocal reaction can be overwhelmingly crass.

As everyone in the fast food industry has to deal with everyday, but the customers are up face to face to them screaming not letting you sit behind a monitor.

Meh.... man up and take it sissies.

Honestly [and no offense to any current/former MMO dev that reads this], I would never want to be a developer myself, for that exact reason.

Question remains, did we (as a community) just shoot ourselves in the foot with the acquisition of Kirstie as Mechanics Developer? Aeralik had his flaws, but he definitely put in long hours and a lot of work. His one flaw was his inflexibility while working with the community.

Kirstie, well, she seems like a deer in the headlights. I'm more concerned now than before.

Just saying. MMO developers, whether they are good at their jobs or not, get a lot of flak (whether they deserve it or not.) V:

People in the fast food industry are not passionate about what they do, which is why the criticism is hard to take.Its not like scrubs that work at McDonalds come to work 4 hours early to make sure your burger is just perfect for you, but no doubt they would be pissed if they did and you still complained.

Yup, threads like this, cancellations by the hundreds (even thousands perhaps) and those surveys never work!

Speak with your wallets, ladies and gents.
