While we're on the topic, I don't understand why it takes so damn long to build a house. I finalized the blueprints two weeks ago, and it's still not done! How hard is it to cut some boards and put some nails into them? Come on guys, it's not rocket science!

And I don't understand why it's taken the Pirates so damn long to win another World Series. They've had decades! It's not like they don't know what they need to do. Fix your pitching, up your batting averages, and get some good outfielders! If I was in charge, I would have fired everyone ten years ago and started over.

And Jesus, I expected to have a flying car by now! Come on, they were drawing these things 40 years ago! How hard is it to put some wings onto the chassis and maybe a propeller in front. Airplanes can fly? The entire automobile industry should be ashamed of themselves.

I do want my jet packs, flying cars, and laser weapons. 

The flying car has been around for some time.  Heres a Molt Talyor Aerocar (circa 1956) (price reduced to just 2.2 Million!)

Personal airborne transport has been in the works since before air planes were invented. Specifically some guy in France thought everyone should have a personal zephylin type thing.

The problem why everything is taking as long as it is, is they are doing three things at once.  Yes, I understand that the poster wants them to take all their energy and put it toward fixing this game.  But just because its his opinion, it doesn't make it valid.  Also, WoM was really fucked when released.  Lots of problems.  Am I disappointed that it is taking so long, yes I am.  Am I concerned that the changes that I think need to be addressed, are not going to be made.  Yes I am.  But that's just my opinion, I don't think my own opinion is that valid, as I am a poor judge of what time and energy these kind of changes take AND my opinion of what should be changed may not actually be best.  Just because we believe something does not make it right.  I post what I think needs changed, I post what I do and don't like about the game, and hope that it is read and considered. 

The thing is, all we can do is wait and see.  Just because we poke a little fun at a rant, doesn't make us fanboys.  And just because we some times rant against the game, doesn't make us trolls.  Lets try and be reasonable.  Now, if 1.3 comes out, and I am greatly disappointed, be sure to know that I will rant and rave with mighty nerd-rage of biblical proportions.  But, until then, I wait.

I find it funny that people now want them to rush the fixes for one of the most rushed games in the history of gaming.

And whatever WoM will look like in the end, it will still just be make-up on a pig. FE has the potential of being awesome, WoM has not, so I think they are doing the right thing by focusing on FE.

Well, it seems I stirred up the pot on my rant. Yes folks I am aware that somethings take longer then others. I agree that somethings that were promised to the consumers long ago haven't been made available yet. Ie, FLYING CARS.  As to what constitutes a good sports team I have no idea. But sports really are a poor comparison for programming. The reason I posted the way I did is because I have earned a degree in programming and have modded many Stardock games in the past. I know how they lay out their programs and from my own experience know how hard and how long it takes to make a game. The problem is rarely the code, it usually is the producers (ie the money behind it), and marketing pushing things forward before their time.  My primary points were that they should have given more time to  this project, that people have paid for, and still doesn't work. My rant is about buying something that should have provide me with entertainment and instead upped my blood pressure. Image buying a new car, driving off the lot, and it breaks down immediately. You tell the dealer and he say "Hey we are gonna work on that for you, no problem", you think great, they will get this done and I will be on my way. You ask, "How many days will this take to fix once you id the problem?"  They say: "Well, we are looking at about 6-8 months to get it fixed."  WHAT!?!?!  The dealer then says: "But wait, we have a new car coming out real soon that will be better then this model"  Dumbfounded, you look at him and say, "But I paid for this one in full already."  "Yea, about that, well ya see, we will get around to it and keep you posted. We are also gonna hire a new mechanic to fix it up for you but we think he needs to work on the new car first. okay."  Usually at this point most folks would punch the dealer in the nose and demand your money back.  But hey we can always wait a few more months for that flying car, right?  And who knows, maybe the Pirate will have their act together by then too, wouldn't that be Swell! Guess what,  I hear they know can put a house fully together within a day! Yep that is right. pre-manufactured parts. That is a no shitter. And along those lines most code has previously been coded into a library and so you don't have to recoded stuff each time, thus making things faster and easier. You can even make your our library so you reuse previous code, wow, cool huh!  Most problems come form the math. Yep, guess you really did need math after all. My frustration is I paid for a product, expecting it to work, and it didn't. As Lord Xia has said, this is my opinion.  I post stuff in hope that the Dev team will read it.  Their will always be those that think someone opinion is to strong, politically incorrect, or wrong because they cousin's friend's brother's girlfriend know differently. I am fully aware that there smarter people in the world then me. Stardock being one of them as they are in business and making money. I, as the consumer, just want them to fix my problem they created.

Yea, I couldn't bare the wall of text, so it went unread.

Yeah, sorry... just having a bit of fun with you. I think that most people here would even agree with you, myself included. It's just that we've all got most of the bitching out of our systems already. At some point, everything that had to be said about the state of the game, has been said about the state of the game, and it's time to move on.

To address your point directly, I'm sure that the actual game code is quite a bit more complicated than what they've laid out for end-user modification, so having experience modding the game probably isn't a good metric with which to judge major revisions by.
