When I made my 'fair-weather' comment, it was probably not the best comparison. After all that would describe someone who would praise the new features only to complain once the newness has worn off.
I have no loyalty to Disney or the game itself. In fact, during the long drought (and posting a list of mostly 'fixes' and 'work-arounds' doesn't change that the game was nearly dead for a lot of last year), I was loyal to my friends and guild. I played because I ENJOYED their company and our experiences and chat. They were --- and still are --- my primary reason for being here.
Maybe that's what gets my hackles up on this topic. There are plenty of games to go and mindlessly slaughter and destroy. There are MMOs with much broader scopes and more intense challenges. There other pirate games. So, we have choices. Maybe its being an old salt... because I don't play other big MMOs and don't know what all I could be missing. I do know how much more I'd being paying and how far behind the top players in other games I would be. The choice is there...
But, we chose this one. We don't have to stay. The dinghy is right over there if you want. I've taken time away before too. However, I gave up on whining in public - because it doesn't work. It doesn't change anything, but bring down other's morale. Perhaps we all feel a little better to vent and get it out.
The big D has ways for us to vent or make suggestions and I'm sure we use it. If you don't, you need to. I just chose not to spout frustrations in such a fashion here - since there are NEW players who are enjoying their experience.
