My guess is : most players might think that if we don't complain that would mean everything is fine and dandy in A dev or SOE's eyes and theywouldn't have to look into resolveing the problem. I think complaining should be called concerned instead.

However, regardless of how negative the community may be, the root of the negativity stems from having to endure repeated poor decisions from Sony Online Entertainment. As a result we have:No Developer(s).No Storyteller(s).No progression of the game as it is now at a halt.No news from "high up" whether they will be seeking to supply us with developer(s) and/or storyteller(s).No Live Events.No Content.No Updates.A virtual world frozen in time with nothing but constant reminders of what was and the absolute nothing we have now.Frankly, I do NOT encourage new subscribers anymore. All there signing up for is a hollow shell of a game that used to offer a continuation of the Matrix story and incidentally a great community with loads to do.So we are just a result of the problem, imo. We are the neglected, bitter remains of what used to be an amazing community with aspirations to go great things and be a part of one of the most fascinating stories ever told.Now, we're just shadows.

Then SoE should open a whole new section in the forums called Complaints for those who have things to argue about instead of General (or just change the name of the General section)
That would require work on SOE's part. And we all know THAT'S out of the question.

If we all did as you people suggest and s t f u and leave, then THAT would be the true death of MxO. There are far more people disappointed in MxO right now than there are who are truly enjoying it. And that's the fault of SOE, not the players.

This
And Especially This.
Maybe we should shut down Development Roundtable first, since there is no more development.
Face it. SOE are going to keep the game running as long as people pay enough to keep the servers online.
The point of the complaining is to try to force SOE's hand by either driving off enough new players (and existing ones) that revenue drops and they are forced to do something. Plus no company likes negative publicity.
The guy that said "there is no such thing as bad publicity" was a *donkey* (you know what word I meant, same meaning).
If you think MxO has anything left to offer you are deluded... the players may have entusiasm, but the game is dead.
MxO isn't alive, nor is it dead... it's a vegetable on life-support.
SOE need to either actively advertise and develop MxO... of pull the plug already. But just siphoning the cash of the hopeful is the sort of behavior that deservers a good, solid kick in the pants... the front of the pants.
Sorry Virrago, I feel for you man. Stuck between the oblivious rock of management and a hard place.
The title of this thread could not be more wrong. Might as well say "emo cutters FTW!"
Seems this thread is going nowhere rather quickly.. but since everyone else seems to be quoting Garu's post I may as well do the same.

Have to endure? Last time I checked, this wasn't chinese water torture being used to drag out some sort of confession.

Oh my God! The System is a LIE!The prophecy...everything is coming to pass...except...this.No...not like this...*head explodes*

Since we're all complaining, is anyone getting ticked off by brand new players who show up and tell us how jaded we are?
If they are going to hold up mirrors I say we throw rocks at them!

LOL
You're right. We could easily quit and go participate in the continuing story of the Matrix in all of those other Matrix MMOs out there. What was I thinking?!
