Excellent overview, Ysh!!
There are a lot of people enjoying Telon right now, and have been since forever, it seems. We, literally, fight hard against the "me" crowd who wanted it perfect since beta 3 and cut the game no slack whatsoever. They are the ones writing so much negativity, even tho they aren't playing any more (not all cases, mind you), but just want to cause problems and bring down the game!
Stupid? Yup!
Are they winning? Nope!
SoE is proving their commitment to Vanguard, more behind the scenes than anything. Game companies are finding out, much through the problems with early hype of Vanguard, that too much said too soon is
not good juju!! Reminds me of that old saying, "Best to remain quiet and thought a fool rather than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"
It's been hard, but I think if you heed Ysh's words, you'll find the game wonderful some day in the not-to-distant future! It's not half shabby not!
