Checking post history work both ways. You seem to have almost twice as many posts as the OP but almost all of them are troll attacks on posters that, like the OP, have negative feelings towards Funcom. Even I (who have definately been negative towards Funcom) have more helpful or factual posts about AoC than you.
You obviously fail (or choose to fail) to understand your own linked reference to a "troll".
(And just for the record: Bram Stoker's "Van Helsing" was hunting vampires, or rather a particular vampire )

Bashing a game or bashing bashers of a game: Both are equally pointless.

"It's probably one of the best mmo's out" == OPINION
"It's probably one of the worst mmo's out" == OPINION

Both opinions are "correct" if that is how the poster feels - But that does not make any of those opinions into fact!

 

I'll just reply to your comment with OP's own words

Yes I read Lordbonezy's post. While I may consider that post somewhat feeble I dont really see how it would invalidate any of the points in my post. The on-topic part of my reply was NOT supporting a total shutdown of AoC for any period of time and the offtopic part of my post (the part quoted) was a reply to your post.

I stand by my post in full - The part you quoted + my feeling that it would be, looking at the longterm perspective, worth putting AoC development on hold for a month or two while Funcom restructures, relocates, train new developers etc. instead of just trying keep up appearences that "everything is business as usual".

Their latest patch-repatch-hotfix cycle seems to support my feelings in that regard.

I guess the most important part is that you believe in yourself... and of course,  Lord Bonezy.
