I swear, ever since the Arc beta thead showed up, I've seen nothing but whining from the player base here.

"WEH WEH I DON'T WANT ARC"

"WEH WEH I DON'T LIKE THE NEW EP"

"WEH WEH I DON'T LIKE THE NEW SHIP DESIGN"

"WEH WEH I DON'T LIKE GRINDING"

"WEH WEH I REFUSE TO PLAY AND SPEND MONEY HERE ANYMORE"

And that's only for two weeks. I'm sure there's been a lot more whining in the past, but I feel like this month alone is the biggest I've seen anywhere. What's up with all of this? If it wasn't for the fact I like to look at patch notes, I'd stop coming to the boards until everyone stopped whining.

But, then I'd end up never coming back.

    You! Yes, you! Stand still why don't you?
    You can't have any shiny until you do your whining!
    How can you have any shiny without your whining?

    We've no need of edification.
    We don't need no Whine Control.
    No common sense here in these forums.
    OP leave the whines alone.
    Hey! OP! Leave those whines alone
    All in all it's another thread about us all.
    All in all you've made another thread about us all.

    :P

    Agreed.

    While there is a fine line between vocalizing an opinion and whining, it would seem that people are being more vocal against the direction this game has been taking as of late. Mind you it is a game, so there is going to be a suspension of believeability with certain content additions, there are some things people should and will get verbally disagreeant with. A little grind here and there is no issue, but when a game designs a feature to be a grind, easily updated with other grinds (such as the two rep systems are) than people will obviously get tired of it quickly. Especially when you take into account how many alts they might have. When they first started talking about the rep system, numerous people warned of this exact thing happening.

    Arc i can understand because using steam and origin, and what ever else, gets really annoying at times, so having another one pushed on us is less than pleasant.

    I'm not sure what you mean by EP though, Energy Proc? Economic Problems? Elastic Pajamas?

    The ship designs though, i suppose i can see being an issue for people as well. I for one really enjoyed the look of the Mogh, but found a lot of the Romulan designs lacking. Even the Vet ship has it's issues and could be improved, but over all they're relatively okay by me. For the most part, i hear people complaining about the layout or function of a ship much more often than the aesthetics of it. I suppose we could always use a few more "Traditional" designs, but as long as they stay away from adding more star wars or non trek concepts into the game, the better.

    It's actually more of a whine of the month club. This month's whine is made from a lovely blend of gripes from other whiners.

    I'm not allowed to post enough :D's to adequately express my feelings on this.

    Yes, yes, I get it -- IRONY. And in my aggravation, instead of just walking away from it all, I did the one thing I was complaining about: whine.

    On the bright side, I'd seem to have brighten SOME of your days, so there's that!

    Look, at the beginning I was also one of those guys defending the game and the Devs (we are all humans, humans are not perfect, they also have a social life...)

    But think about it. This is not a console game you put into your Playstation or DS and play a few hours and it's done.

    STO is a 24/7 running open-end game. Its evolving and changing. We are the ones, who experience problems first.

    And to be honest, in at least the last year, a lot of content has been released without proper
    QP. Or if a Fleet can pay 200.000 Dil for a nice picture in the wall (yes I know its optional), then it is our job to complain as long as someone listens.

    Compared to the Forum changeover, the introduction of star bases, the launch of LOR, any launch of a new fleet holding....this isn't even close to a whine pandemic.Dig deep into the forum archives, you will find a treasure trove of hysterics, and hyperbole.:D

    O.K. O.K. O.K.
    Just a little nitpick
    There'll be lot's more waah waah waah!
    So we may feel a little sick
    Can we stand it?
    I do believe that's broken, again
    They keep us slogging through the grinds
    All day for cheese and shines.

    Way too much pain. We keep DCing
    A distant ship so we keep grinding
    Marks only dribble through in waves
    Their lips move but don't believe what they are saying
    When I began to play
    I had a little hope
    That this might finally be my time
    I turned to look but hope was gone
    Somehow it's all gone so wrong by now
    The grinds are grown
    The dream is gone
    And I have become
    Whiny and numb.

    EDIT: Wonder what would happen if they gave us a grind and no one showed up to play it? :D

    No matter. After enough whine everything begins to taste the same anyway.

    every month is whine month. there seems to be this perception that people moan about the game more than in the past. I really dont think that is true and more people having short memories. people have always found something to moan about. there have been some spectacular moans in the past and there will be again.

    it fluctuates up and down a bit but nothing changes on these forums or any other.

    I can't wait for next month when we get to hear "Whadduyu mean the Anniversary Ships are 'Limited Time Only'? Waaaaah, I want 'em in the C-Store! Waaaaaah!"

    Again.

    Personal opinion: the new players that came with Season 8 have reached the point with their new characters where they start to understand the first aspects of the game - or at least like to think so (I still consider myself to me amateurish at best after well over a year playing). Some even did try out characters from different factions and/or classes. And they see what seems to be possible with different builds and new ships and lockboxes and, and, and...

    - and that's why the whine goes well with cheese.

    it seems at your expense. if you planned on making a point, dont make it an attack on the community as what happens to everyone here is for a reason even if you refuse to see it for its weight. in this case you wondered through sharknado alley and a few people here have chewed off more then you can recover from. best to leave it be before you wind yourself up about it.

    now the trolls are out in force so any intention of this being a reasonable thread is long dead, like the horse it is.
