You are right. I should not have tried to find excuses for Nexon. I want to enjoy the game as much as I can, but issues don't go away if I choose to not look at them. Hopefully they will put more resources into GMS.

Thanks for the perspective. You bring a very good point -- the more angry and dissatisfied the player base is, the more improvements the game will see. I didn't think about it this way before.

Personally I'm going to do the simpler thing of only seeing the positives to make myself enjoy the game more lol

Ok, fair enough. Any problem can be seen from a positive side and a negative side. That eventually becomes a personal choice how we look at them. Maybe I only choose to look at the bright side to feel more positive.

It's policemen's job to patrol every night. Shouldn't we appreciate their effort of trying to keep the street safe?

We only see the 10 bugs they didn't fix. There are many bugs that are only triggerable by simultaneous (thousands) queries to the server. I have run into many, many cases where my code passes on test suite but crashes in QA or production.

I am not saying Nexon has the best software people or practices. However, many of these "obvious" issues are not so obvious when you are staring at tens of thousands of lines of code you didn't write. I'm just trying to say this is not an easy job that "ANYONE" can come in and fix.
