@Roled: Nice try, but this is still the PS forum.

@Irishman: If you are trully tired then don't read their posts. Creating something to put more attention on the troll makes matters worse. The advice was to warn you, don't stick troll bait around your neck if you are sick of them. And I pity you if you have yet to figure out that this forum does nothing for the community, nothing positive anyway, and your post is not exempt... Why do you think so many gave up and why others turned to trolling? Trolling and asking why X bug is happening is mostly what's keeping this forum alive.
@Derula: The problem is not that people have mental issues but that the game was close to their heart... so close that issue with the game stabbed them at the heart very easily... I'm as guilty of it as anyone.
I would bet that all the vehement trollers and malcontents out there not only loved this game at one time but deep down they still do and that's what drives them to act the way they do. Like for instance, for awhile after I left, I was so bitter about the state of PS that it almost made me sick to even think about it... but if you spend 3 years devoting more time to trying to make a game doomed to futilty work than you devote even to your own self promotion, you end up there...
The problem is, people wanted this game to succeed. They wanted it to succeed because it had the potential to be epic, and everybody that put in too much time was trying to at least do what they could to prop it up and help it live up to its potential. Unfortunately, it meant nothing as the person at the top of the food chain, as it were, thinks he's owed this kind of help, doesn't really appreciate it, and worse yet doesn't understand that the game is going down the toilet much faster than coming out of it. People attached to this game because it was epicness they could have a part in and have fun contributing to but then it disappointed... badly.
That is what the trolling is... It's some people's coping mechanism for a let down that is equal to the percieved epicness quotient that PS could have had. The more a person struggled to make that epic reality a true reality, the harder they splatted when reality set in. This is why I have been more or less harping on the need to change deal... The game is beyond not living up to its potential and the worse it falters the worse the trolling, various malcontents, PR, and development progress will be. This is why the people that are the safest are the people that could care less if the game succeeds, regardless of the point at which they gained this attitude.
No amount of mounts and reflections will change this.
keep this in mind: People still play old DOS games with simple to no graphics and only so much detail. Why do people play old and out dated games? Because they are still fun, good games. Success does not depend on graphics or how fast you can turn out updates. The foundation of PS need to be shored up or anything else is "polishing a turd" to steal Rigwyn's expression.
