You know, I really don't care. I spent the better part of an afternoon writing this, picking out and cropping images, and editing it (and yes, I see several grammar errors that got past me *sigh*). I took the time to take notes and screenshots as I ran around that evening just so that I could write this up. Then, I posted it most prominently here but also at a couple other places. At other places, I got recieved many thanks. At the Basin, I got something even better -- people telling their own experiences of the gate opening event. Here, all I get is bitching and moaning about a person not wanting to farm linen and complaints about there not being enough non-raiding content in the game. Ordinarily, I'd be sympathetic, but come on, guys, enough's enough. If you're not happy with the game, stop paying to play it. Maybe the expansion will have improvements that you want, so perhaps you can renew your account then. But if you're not going to cancel your account, at least take the time to enjoy some of the good aspects of the game, and this gate opening event was definitely an exciting moment that should be enjoyed by as many people as possible. In the meantime, if someone obviously puts some work into creating something here for you to enjoy, at least take the time to acknowledge the time and effort the person put into it before starting your bitching and moaning.
